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

I wish that they'd had a startup screen that said "it's now dangerous to turn off your computer".

SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED

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.

Right from my body and onto your plate.

My absolute favorite though was Girl Drink Drunk.
