Charles Forsyth, the controversial founder of a string of failed UK computer
companies, has been arrested in Western Australia, over the alleged fraud of
�1m in the UK.

A warrant for Forsyth's arrest was issued on October in North Yorkshire, the
home of Personal Computer Science, a prominent computer builder which
collapsed in July 1999 with the loss of 150 jobs.

no, he's got a larger collection of names, something like Edward Robert Charles Forsyth
and seems to have varied the combination over the years for reasons no doubt best
known to himself, until he got to me.

i had a reporter ring me up in 2000 about it and there was a certain amount of
verbal fencing until we cleared up the misunderstanding.  i happened to know
some of the background, largely by accident, which helped.  it's obviously also
helpful that officers making an arrest and appearances in court start by checking the
individual's full name.  fortunately, mine is different.

of course in the old days, they might have brought him from Australia for trial
then sent him back(!) if convicted
