Yes Harrison and Sinclair. I did think of Sinclair when I made my list earlier in this post but failed to update my post.

To repeat what I said on my Facebook page this week.... I believe I am fortunate to have lived in an era that has gone from seeing an Apollo Lunar Module with guidance computers with a capacity of 12k of RAM that only just made it to the lunar surface, to handheld phones that you can watch real time HD footage of a Space Shuttle dock with a space station.

And in between be a part of the rise of personal home computers from large grey boxes down to the thickness of a paperback. Today's technology in general still fascinates me to no end.

In honour of Steve and also carrying on my tradition of tinkering in the shed on a Saturday while listening to the Science Show followed by The Goon Show (no Goons anymore ), I am pulling apart my iPhone 3 for no other reason but to see what's inside. Just amazing. I'm holding the main board in my hand now!
