== A very partial history of Amstrad ==
(from [[WACCI ]] issue 136, written by [[User:ChaRleyTroniC|ChaRleyTroniC]])
In the beginning was the word. And the word was '''Amstrad'''. And the word was a rather corny conflation of AMS (Alan Michael Sugar) and Trading. And when [[Adam Shade]] came to name his [[PD libraries|PD library]], he called it [[Dartsma]], possibly because he thought it’d be amusing to reverse such a well-known name, but more probably because he just couldn’t spell it.
