Basically around the 2000s we had a WinXP computer and each time I wanted to use it, either my mom or my dad had to turn it on. However they had to strike the key to enter the BIOS. Everytime when booting the PC. Then they would exit the BIOS and so Windows XP would boot normally.
Do you guys know if your parents also did that and why?
I remember using jumpers to overclock my CPU in the 90’s. That and manually setting IRQ settings to avoid conflicts with installing new hardware. It was a bitch to get that 56k modem going to get 3.5k/s was absolutely worth it.
