@Mustardfacial Like cranking up an engine! Lol
@catsalad @Mustardfacial don't forget to hold the turbo button while you crank it, and back off just as the bootloader catches.

@rotopenguin @catsalad You only have to do that in the winter. Air is usually warm enough in the summer that it'll fire up right away.

@catsalad When I was like 12 or 13 I modified one of those locks to be the power button thinking it would be so cool to have a computer that could only be turned on with a lock. The rest of my family unfortunately, didn't think so.
@Mustardfacial @catsalad I still keep stumbling over these.

@catsalad Little known fact, the "turbo" button turned on a special fan that injected gasoline directly into your CPU for added speed.
