> When we’re designing new Raspberry Pi products, we naturally look back to the computers of our childhoods: the tastefully beige BBC Micro, the Sinclair Spectrum with its rubber keyboard, the Commodore 64 “breadbin”, or the grandfather of them all, the Apple II.

Now someone needs to make the keycaps with the right themes - black with function keys for the BBC, QL-looking for the Spectrum, shades of brown for the 64, and brown with "BELL" on the G for the Apple II.

Although for many years people have just been putting Pis inside actual home computer cases. In the BBC case, as a (software programmable) Second Processor connected over the Tube.

> QL-looking for the Spectrum

I was going to object, but probably right to just skip the horror of the true Spectrum keyboard.

		Maybe they meant the ZX Spectrum II, known to some as “The Toaster” for some reason. Rubber keyboard, I heard it referred to as dead-flesh. It put me off computing for a few years, that and all the bloody modes for different keywords.
