OK, what's the deal with the blue hubs? Both our working and spares SX-
64 have them; were they prone to falling off, or only some were made
with them or something?

Someone dropped our two off to us one day having found them on the tip.
(both with half the ICs dead, one with an analogue display fault, one
with a PSU fault, and only one keyboard cable between the pair - took me
a fair bit of messing around to make a nice usable machine!)

That's my big gripe about them; the keyboard feels permanently on the
verge of breaking. I wish they'd made the thing slightly bulkier/heavier
and not quite so flimsy.
