    Except they did instantly boot. I didn’t say anything about how long they took to load a program, and if you had a cartridge, it instantly loaded as well. Have you actually used these computers, or just remember slow tape drives? Not that modern ones are fast by any means either, they just move more data and are prohibitively expensive.

      It’s easy to “boot up instantly” when not even the OS is loaded.

      Modern BIOS load also instantly. Care to explain what you can do with that?
