Great find. I love his perspective on the (lack of) success of Locomotion.

It's nice to read about Mr Sawyer even so many years have been passed. Glad to know that he is still active for your interview!

Nice work - a really wide ranging interview that wasn’t afraid to delve into some of his more difficult times.

I really liked his passion for computing and even in print he gives off an aura of really knowing his stuff.

He comes across as a quiet, unassuming man. I think I’d like to sit down with him and just enjoy his knowledge for a while.

As I say on the page, "It just goes to show that patience, even without talent, can lead to glory."

Bless you, my children.

Please, play the Game of Chris (blessed be his Game), and give thanks to His Chrisfulness.
