Default Blowtorch


A couple of my computers downstairs have "turbo" buttons.


You want to know the original reason old PCs (the "turbo" buttons) had buttons
on them to slow them down? I wondered that for years and years and finally an
old Silicon Valley engineer told me it was for playing old games that would
go too fast if run on a newer PC.

You need to let those old computers go, Gerry! :-)
