Re: The most fun true Spectrum fact.

After some equally heavy research, I've discovered that each of the
fins on the "toastrack" 128's heatsink represents a member of the
1986 Spanish World Cup squad, reflecting the machine's Iberian origins,
and that the +2 was grey because the entire production run was
accidentally left out in the sun too long.

Also, did you know that the graphics in Dynamite Dan were designed by
Theresa May's brother-in-law? Or that the former Sinclair offices have
been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO? (Although, now I come
to think of it, the bloke down the bus shelter who told me might have
said “Tesco”. He was slurring his words a bit.)

But the one from YS that's always bothered me is, "If all the Spectrums
in the world were piled on top of each other, it would fall down"
though. Are you absolutely sure about that? Seems dodgy to me.
