Did you remember to turn your computer off before midnight? [1]

['Rob Beschizza']

Date: 2025-01-01

It is one now quarter of a century since you were expected to turn your computer off before midnight, like a digital Gremlin. The stickers may still be found on eBay for reasonable prices. The stickers' authenticity can hardly be guaranteed; if you still have a Packard Bell PC, it might now be worth more than you paid for it.
