Didn't machines at that time take mere seconds to boot?
There was nothing to boot! My mom has MSDOS on a whatever that was built sometime probably around 1989 or 1990. Had a big red switch, flick on, a couple of strange noises, a hello line of text, and then flashy cursor let you knew you were ready to play Jeopardy or Worms.
Lol, I was like 5 when they were prevalent. I don't remember at all.
