The flamboyant fiasco of the Amstrad GX4000 by David Hecq

-

Gunhed TV (David Hecq) is a known french youtubber with some videos on Amstrad CPC.

His last video 5 days ago is about the flamboyant fiasco of the Amstrad GX4000, to be compared to the video on the same subject : Histoire d'un Flop : les Amstrad 6128 plus, 464 Plus, et la GX 4000 by Générations Micro in December 2024.

David HECQ is also the author of the book Marion et les crocodiles d'Amstrad : L'histoire d'Amstrad France recommended by Roudoudou on his Discord. I did read it and it's a good one.

Two SF books by Philippe Rimauro (Offset) : la perle des confins et la soeur égarée

-

At the end of the Benediction Coding Meeting 4, someone had two science-fiction in her opened bag. As I am an avid reader, I did look at the cover, the title and ... the name of the writer : Philippe RIMAURO, who isn't exactly unknown on the Amstrad CPC scene.
