That's nothing. I remember when booting a game required loading it from cassette tape. Me and my friends would go round to each other's houses, start the computer loading a game, go outside to play a football match and when we got back it'd be nearly ready to start.

Yes, loading from removable media was slow, but the computer was ready to fully use in less time than it takes "modern" systems to even POST. Totally ridiculous.
