  Amstrad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amstrad is an electronics company founded in 1968 by Sir Alan Michael Sugar in the United Kingdom, and based in Brentwood in Essex, England.
A year later, in 1987, the Amstrad PCW 8512 was released as a computer dedicated to word processing, it was priced at £499.
Amstrad was key to the introduction of Sky, as it was the only manufacturer producing decoder boxes and dishes at the system's launch, and has continued to manufacture set top boxes for Sky, from analogue to digital and now including Sky's Sky+ PVR box.

 Amstrad Action - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amstrad Action was a monthly magazine, published in the United Kingdom, which catered to owners of home computers from the Amstrad CPC range.
Amstrad Action, known in the CPC community as AA, had the longest lifetime of any Amstrad magazine, running from October 1985 until June 1995 and producing 117 issues in total.
As activity in the Amstrad world declined, the editorial staff were reduced to three and the magazine adopted an increasingly eccentric style, with one edition in particular featuring an eight-page script for a Christmas pantomime.

2.1 The Amstrad CPC 464, 472, 664, 6128
Amstrad initially promoted the CPC as being an improvement on the competing ZX Spectrum and C64 because it was a complete system - including everything required to use the machine in one box.
Amstrad's idiosyncratic choice of Hitachi's 3" floppy disk drive, when the rest of the PC industry was moving to Sony's 3.5" format, is often claimed to be due to Amstrad bulk-buying a large consignment of 3" drive units in Asia.
