Unless you had really strange doors, the Commodore 64 was too tall to wedge
under a door, as a proper doorstop should be wedged.  The Sinclair Rectrum
was a much better fit.  Besides, if you wedged it under the door upside down,
the rubber keyboard prevented it from slipping if a gust of wind attempted to
close the door.

The Sinclair machines were perfect for storing used condoms, although I have
difficulty understanding why you Speccy girlies wanted to collect used
rubbers.
