Silly goose, that's not a keylock. You need to put your key in to start up the engine on that puppy. 15 million characters of high speed storage require a lot of power to get going.

I should post some of my old videogame ads from the 90s from my computer magazines.

I had one from the mid 90s of Microsoft Flight Simulator where Microsoft advertises that you can take your plane, Cessna or Boeing 737 and actually fly around the World Trade Centres.

This thread is giving me the urge to stop buying hardware for the next 30 years.

Our offspring are going to laugh at us and say: "Oh god, how could they have paid 100 bucks for a Gforce 9600 video card".
