I miss the old days. From 2008 to 2012 or so, my company had Dell
dual-core laptops with spinning drives. I'd boot the computer up, log
in, then go get my first cup of coffee, chat in the break room with
friends, then come back to a completely booted computer.

The Dell E420s came with a 4200 rpm 1.8" drive - those were especially
sluggish in booting up.

There's no time for such frivolity now. Press Power. Zang! Logged in -
get to work, Flintstone!
