computers with a button on the only purpose of which is to make them go SLOWER so you can run old DOS programs that do timing by delay loops. Of course the marketing department won't stand for that sort of thing, they'll have us believe it actually makes the computer go faster.

It is like my keyboard having the SysRq button on it.
Totally redundant these days!

I quite like the idea of having a 'Hyper' button!
That layout is awful though!
