Did you ever use your Toe to turn one of these on or off?

My toe was for the AVR and UPS. People who grew up in countries with unstable/unreliable electricity can relate. The family desktop computer was basically: power socket > AVR > UPS > computer, with the first two on the floor (therefore using feet to turn them on), and the system unit on the desk right beside the CRT monitor.

I just did

I am old enough to know what that is, to have seen several of them in person, to have pressed several of them myself out of curiosity, but apparently too young to ever have seen any effect at all. What did the "turbo" do?
It actually clocked the processor down rather than speeding things up.
In the early days of PCs games usually just ran as fast as the processor ran. As the processors got faster, games started to run too quickly to play. The turbo button slowed down the processor speed so you could still play those older games.
Now games use the clock to determine how quickly things happen, not the speed of the processor, so we don't have that problem.

Why, are they into feet or something?

Your UPS didn't also clean your voltage?

It did, but we already had an AVR long before the time small UPS units for home use became affordable enough, so we just added it in there in a series.

Ah, definitely makes sense.

I was just thinking the same. How does everyone else turn on their towers?

Well it would be weird if I used someone else's toe to do it.

Ah, the good ol' days when an Intel 486 with a 66 MHz CPU was cutting edge home computing
