Yeah, my family's first "real" PC (Gateway 2000 circa 1992/3, a 3x86, 4 MB RAM, Windows 3.0. Yeah, 3.0, not 3.1) had a physical lock on it, but it was just a fancy power switch that needed a key in series with the main power switch. It broke pretty early on (I think one of the springs in the tumbler broke so the pin wouldn't retract) so my dad had to just open the case and physically move it to the 'on' position internally. He was actually using the lock to attempt to lock me and my brother out of the computer so we wouldn't play too many games, but, welp, having to bypass the lock put an end to that, lol.

I think the 4G support was the main reason I got it, and there was actually 4G service in Austin at the time. I remember showing the kickstand and download speed to a friend by watching a youtube video or something like that at a bar. Wasn't it just Sprint's lovely "WiMAX" 4G? Lol. Just full fuckin' lol at anyone who bought one of those. It was me, I bought one.
