Doesn't half have some rabbit the author. Charles Darwin, complete with
picture?

I recall that early IBM PC ATs had a clock rate of 8MHz, and games of
the day were designed to run as fast as possible, so, when faster
machines were available, they became impossible to play. Some machines
had a button on the front to switch between 8MHz and the maximum, which
could be up to 66MHz. The button was usually labelled "Turbo" and you
pressed it for full speed.
