I was a kid at the time when we had a 486 and I was always scared of the turbo button. I had no idea what it did. I remember pressing it once and fooled around for a bit...nothing seemed to be different so I turned it off. I was scared for a little while after that someone might have found out that I pressed the turbo button... For a long time after though, until we got a new computer, I would try turning it on randomly playing games or doing different things. I remember coming to the conclusion that it didn't do anything and we probably just didn't have whatever the turbo mode was supposed to be for. I forgot about all that until I read this. It's pretty cool to find out after all these years it actually did do something.
