Power supplies with 120/240 switches are SO 1990.


WHAT is that supposed to mean? It can't mean that year, since there was
nothing special about 1990.

Also, I have a PC power supply from last year (2016). It has a 120/240
switch.


The design is from 1990. I haven't seen an ATX supply that was not
"auto switching" AKA wide mouth and I have a dozen of them in my parts
cabinet.
