mine had a button cap and dad used to joke that he bought it on black market and it originates from the nuclear missile launch button.

That button cap is important with a lot of kids around.

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

makes sense. never thought about that from this standpoint. I had a tendency of pushing random buttons when I was a kid so that's probably why the cap.

What was the big-toe-sized button for it fnot for the big to- you know what, I don't think I wanna know.

Do people not still do this? People must still have towers, and they must have on buttons, right?

I've not built a tower in a good few years now so maybe I'm out of touch and they're all voice activated now or use DNA scanners from Gattaca idk xD

People learned that computer cases shouldn't go on the ground, unless you want them to be a dust magnet (especially if you have a case with intakes on the bottom for the GPU).
