The standard 5β floppy. The best part was putting down the latch on the drive and that sweet sound it made.
Remind me to send you a picture of my 3ish feet diameter hard drive platter
Turning on the tower with your foot...yeah, that unlocks some memories, lol.
Now do you also remember shutting it down with your foot?
"It's now safe to turn off your computer"
I didn't shut down the computer that way, I'd go through the menus and such. At that point I'd just have to shut off the monitor. If I had to do a restart 'cuz the damn thing froze then yeah, I'd use my foot.
Ah yes, the toe remote still works, also for laptops and without even changing batteries.

Why is there a spider on my solitaire card? Where the fuck is my Minesweeper and Netscape Navigator?

You think this is old? Where are the stone tablets with chisels? Kids the days...

Hi, kiddie!
is this for jerma specifically because of the time he accidentally turned his computer off with his foot
"it's now safe to turn off your computer"
That's how old I am

I had a friend who edited the .jpeg or whatever in the shutdown sequence to say βit is NOT safe to shut off your computerβ and waited for his family to freak out.
And the power switch was like KA-JUNK when you pushed it, because it was a big ol' switch that actually physically connected and disconnected the power.
"It's now safe to turn off your computer" went away after we moved to software power control, where the operating system could signal the power supply to turn off.
