[SIGCIS-Members] John Miller-Kirkpatrick, UK home computing pioneer

[Tony Smith]

John Miller-Kirkpatrick created arguably the first British home 
computer, but his death in 1978 at the ridiculously young age of 31 
means he has largely been forgotten and the limelight focused instead on 
the likes of Clive Sinclair and the Acorn team.

Here is an essay about John's life, his important place in the history 
of British home computing, and why he should be remembered:
