And the power switch was like KA-JUNK when you pushed it, because it was a big ol’ switch that actually physically connected and disconnected the power.
“It’s now safe to turn off your computer” went away after we moved to software power control, where the operating system could signal the power supply to turn off.
I had my computer plugged into a power bar and we’d turn off the power bar to turn off the computer so that we wouldn’t wear out the switch on the computer.

I had to type “/win” to boot up Windows
Into what did you type that? Wouldn’t something already have to have booted first in order to type it?
Dos, windows was just a normal dos program you had to start like anything else until windows 95
Oh gawd, there are people that don’t know DOS.
FACK…
I know about DOS if that helps? I’m not too far off from having used it though, I bet. I’m 38.
Yeah you have no excuse
