Bob Wilkinson

Bob Wilkinson is no longer with us. He died in December 2007. As a friend of Bob and supporter of his work whilst creating Outwrite! I (*) believe he would want this word processor to be used by all SAM Coupe users everywhere.

(*) who is I?

I think "I" may be me, Mick Sleight. 
I met Bob in 1984 via SUUG, SPECTRUM UNEMPLOYED USER GROUP. We became friends and communicated, via cassette tape, for years up until he died. He was a very good coder, Z80, and wrote quite a number of programmes for the Spectrum, Amstrad and Sam Coupe. He used to send me copies of his coding to road test and Outwrite was used by me to write all my assignments for uni from 95 to 97. He and I worked together on an assembler, singlestep and code to source suite. Bob moved up to PC use in the 90s and eventually found his niche coding for virtual worlds designing buildings etc. I last had an email from him the day before he died. He sent me a link to his latest project, a virtual mansion, outlining his plans for coding the following day. Sadly that day he died. Bob was always my number one shout out when I hit any problems with computing, I miss him now every time I hit a problem.
