Who is mad rad?

A guy Spie had a (rightfully) falling out with and ultimately paid a lot of money to get rid of.

My first 4x Teac SCSI from Overclockers (Millennium) cost £450 and I had to buy a £150 SCSI card to control it.

Who is mad rad?

Pete Radford who started Millennium Computers with his wife and his Dad helping out.
Spie joined and had big ideas about using the Internet, Pete basically became lazy and couldn't see the future and Spie offered him money (nowhere near as much that was going around locally) and Pete took it.
Pete moved round the corner from the old OCUK into a little garage building kit cars but that went bust.
The saddest thing I saw was him queing in OCUK for something and nobody knew who he was (except me).
It was like a person who had lost a big winning lottery ticket.

Spie did write a story about it and how much he paid.
