Default "Lost" Arthur C Clarke interview.

Back in March 2008, when Arthur C Clarke died, Jeffrey Borinsky (ppppenquin) started a thread about him in which (among other things) his ideas for geostationary communication satellites was discussed,

Yes I saw that Colin-fascinating viewing. Two b+w early Dr Who's as well.
All we need now is "Madhouse on Castle Street"!

Arthur C Clarke was one of my heroes. I visited him when we went to Sri Lanka in the nineties and mended his PC! (I know, name dropper). Now sadly missed of course.
