I used to work on an ugly, beige box. Every morning I pulled my swivel chair from under the desk, crawled into the hole underneath and pushed the oval, cyan button that said “POWER”.
After a series of whirrs, clicks and pops, Windows 95 (then 98, then XP) loaded and I could launch Photoshop or Flash and begin work.
Luckily turning it off was a tiny bit more convenient, as it only required a few clicks in the Windows UI.
