Actually, it died not because of Sugar (who didn't produce a product that was even considerable), but RM PLC who chucked out a load of cheap, unrelaible pile of shite clone PCs and took the contract away from Acorn basically through lying, cost cutting and cash backhanders.

Mr Weasly Weasel (Sugar) is just an asshat anyway though.

Never a truer word was spoken. I remember RM "PCs" from schools and they absolutely sucked. It's a wonder kids didn't go blind from looking at those horrible curved 14" monitors that they probably charged £100s for.
