Sir Clive Sinclair interview (inventor of one of the home computers, doesn't use one!)

  • Sir Clive: "I don't use a computer at all. The company does."
  • Interviewer: "So you don't do email?"
  • Sir Clive: "No. I've got people to do it for me."
  • Interviewer: "If friends and family want to communicate?"
  • Sir Clive: "They can do that. We've got a computer in the front office, but I get someone to do it for me."
  • Interviewer: "That seems odd to me. Why is that?"
  • Sir Clive: "Sheer laziness I think. I can't be bothered."
  • Interviewer: "Do you not know how to operate it?"
  • Sir Clive: "I do know how to, but I don't."
  • Interviewer: "Sorry to press, but it seems the simplest thing in the world to do your own emails."
  • Sir Clive: "Well I find them annoying. I'd much prefer someone would telephone me if they want to communicate. No, it's not sheer laziness -- I just don't want to be distracted by the whole process. Nightmare."

OK, so why the zen bones thing?

About 20 years ago I stumbled upon a book called "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones". Being vegetarian - the "flesh" bit didn't grab me, but the short pithy Zen stories inside it, did.

Ever since then my web nick has been zenbones, my Hotmail, my Gmail address, you name it. It's kinda stuck.

Is the blog about Zen? Nope.
