I remember our family computer having an actual switch instead of a button.
Still did the toe thing though, down for on and up for off.

    Ah, the "it is now safe to turn off your computer" days

    Ah yes, Microsoft installing a ton of updates without informing me first. Like I don’t have anything else to do (which is probably why I’m turning off the computer, to not go do those other things.)

    Back when I still rode airplanes, I used to never shut my notebook off except when I was about to leave for a flight. Then I had the pleasure of watching Windows install 957 updates while the cab was honking outside.
