      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.

        I had my computer plugged into a power bar and we’d turn off the power bar to turn off the computer so that we wouldn’t wear out the switch on the computer.

        People actually thought you’d have a computer long enough to wear out its power switch.

      The one I remember best was having to use the DOS ‘park’ command before you shut down the PC. I guess I am that old.

        Huh, never ever seen that. We always used the rule "you can shutdown the computer when you can see the C:".

        What does park do? Put the HDD arm into a parked position? Never needed that for ours, but we also had a blazingly fast 486 with a massive 250 MB hdd.

          Yeah, old drives didn’t autopark like the IDE drive in your spiffy 486. I had an XT growing up, and dad was militant about having us remember to park the drive when we were done with it. I think by the end of the 80s, all drives were IDE and were autoparking, so the command was deprecated.

            I never had to do that, because our computer didn’t have a hard drive. We booted DOS right from the floppy.

            Damn, I had a Tandy 1000HX (very much not a 486) and never had to do that. Maybe because, despite having a hard disk, it had DOS on its own ROM.

              Cool, I’ve wanted an OS ROM chip since the early nineties, and often wondered why nobody seemed to be doing it. Guess they were all along!

              You technically didn’t have to park the old MFM and RLL drives, but if you didn’t, then you just had the drive heads resting on the platters after you shut them down. Then if you bumped or moved the PC at that time, it could scratch the disk like a record. If you never tried to move it, there probably wasn’t much risk.

              From the sound of it, the HDD in your Tandy probably would have been an MFM or RLL drive, and depending on the drive model, it either autoparked the drive heads or didn’t. As a PC clone running MS-DOS, the command was probably supported, but maybe not needed. Or you may have just been the equivalent of one of those rebels who held down the power button every time they wanted to shut down the PC and always got away with it!

        1: You a veteran?

        2: Yes. No. I don’t wanna talk about it.

        Camera zooms in on 2, fades to montage:

        MiG 21 thundering overhead at tree top levels, while blasting ‘Hush’, which is being comically raised in pitch to squeaking chipmunk levels as it approaches, and then instantly downshifts by two octaves into quaalude voice after it passes overhead… it is being pursued by an f4 phantom who fires off all of his seeking missiles in a quick burst, all of which guide themselves into your convoy of m113s, as well as a nearby mortar emplacement

        squad is slowly advancing through Hue with no resistance thus far… and then suddenly, from 3 different directions, VC on mopeds, blasting ‘Surfin Bird’ and headbanging maniacally, rapidly approach the unit… 2 are shot, but one makes it through, moped detonates with the force of 4 bundles of TNT

        … rocket pod armed mi8s and hueys pieroutting around each other in the night sky, throwing unguided rockets everywhere, taking out ground bound friend and foe alike, both ultimately running out if ammo and then crashing into the ground sideways and upside down…

        Camera pops back to 2, slowly zooms out.

        2: … I don’t … don’t wanna talk about it.

        We had multiple games on our floppies. All pirated and with miles of paper printouts showing which games were on which floppy.

        I think we had two legitimately bought games.

          Apparently we got our floppies for cheap because we just had a whole bunch of pirated floppies.

          Admittedly, some did have multiple games on them. That’s what LOAD"$",8 was for.

      I still remember using Windows machine for the first time after only having a Commodore 64 and Nintendos. I specifically remember thinking it was dumb because it didn’t have a cartridge slot.

        Haha! Now USB ports are sort of cartridge ports. Although I haven’t see a lot of software distributed on USB, there are some products.

      We actually had a C 128. But we always booted into C 64 mode because that had all the good games.

      The only 128 game we had was some super complicated stealth bomber flight simulator. The manual was cool though.
