We asked over 900 people "Which is the king of computers?"

No, they didn't. They asked "What was your first home PC?"

Asking Brits about their first home computer, yes, that result
was expected.

It's about as meaningful a statistic as the one for the C64 sales in
the Guinness Book of Records. Still, it's unlike Geoff to start a

Flamewar? I was merely disseminating topical information. :-)

Talking of the Guiness Book of Records, the British Broadcasting
Corporation reports that in Wales this weekend there has been the
biggest assembly of Sir Clive Sinclair's C5 electric tricycle
