Does Gibson tweet a lot? I feel like I’ve seen him a lot here lately.

A decent amount, usually commenting on various tech news articles.

Then some nerd like me tells you all about it
IIRC it's essentially "use all of the processor" or what might be called "overclocking" today. The main use was to actually turn it off for backwards compatibility (since most ancient games waited 'clock cycles' rather than 'seconds' and/or just ran as fast as possible, so faster computers would run old games at lightning, unplayable speeds)

That puts you beginning computing in the nineties most likely, where others needed backward compatibility with old software that expects a slower clock.

Edit: a bit of an oversimplification but I’m sure wikipedia or some other nerd can straighten that out for those who care

Slows down the CPU so older software, mostly relevant to games, didn't run at lightning speed too fast for you to react so yeah turbo was kinda the opposite of what the word implied.

Didn't stop me from pressing it on school I.T abs when newer games ran like poo poo though, didn't help somehow.
