"how old are you?"

"an old 486 with a 3.5 disk drive, turbo button, and pc lock"

TURBO!!!

The "Turbo" function was a masterstroke of marketing.

The actual function of the turbo is to slow the machine down, so it can be compatible with older games and software that ran too quickly on those newer systems.

Of course calling it a "slow down" button wasn't very sexy, so just flip the function around and label it turbo instead!

Gotta have an LED display so everyone can see your speed in megahertz.
