That TURBO button was great on my 286, but I spent hours starring at
the motherboard, and trying to plug it into the right spot when we got
a 386.
I was rather upset when somebody told me that 386's didn't have TURBO
support.  I guess the real problem was that I was aware that we got a
new motherboard.  I just remember that the computer disappeared for a
few days, and I couldn't play Rogue and Bard's Tale.  It also used to
disappear for a while then come back with twice the hard drive space.

It's almost 11:30, and I'm still not coherent.
