She used the phrase "This is the chip I designed" instead of "we designed". Could have been a slip of the tongue but I doubt it.


Yes, I noticed this too... what is clear is that she's a salesman/entrepreneur first, electronic engineer second.

The C64 recreation is far more interesting to the geek fraternity when it's promoted by a single pretty woman... Than the technically more challenging Minimig, which was built by a single bloke...

It's all about Marketing, if you listen carefully and cross reference all interviews, she does lapse into "Our chip"... Call me cynical, but I think that's just her slipping off the official line ;-)

@alexh,

Girlfriend - Eh? Am I missing something here - or is that some sort of nerd-fantasy?

Mike.


Nerd überfantasy, me thinks...

No. It was a homophobic, insensitive comment about her sexuality designed to promote a response.


Sometimes it's fun being English... Sadly few will get our sense of humour...  :roll:
