But if the system unit is not in its normal position, perhaps it will boot
sideways or downwards.

Humm, do you remember harddrives where the head and arms were so heavy that if you tipped the PC on its side it wouldn't read the harddrive anymore? Al Dunbar [MS-MVP] wrote: [color=blue] > "Bob I" wrote in message

Yes. Fortunately, that weight was often enough to keep people from trying to
tip the computers over in the first place, for fear of injury.
a) Do you remember that some of the models spun the odd numbered platters in
the opposite direction to avoid having the chassis turn around like on those
high-powered washing machines on the spin cycle?
b) I remember even farther back to my first computer that didn't even have a
hard drive. And no floppies, either. It just had an audio! cassette tape
drive for storage.
c) And even before that, a minicomputer at work whose software was loaded by
feeding punched paper tape through a teletypewriter. But before even that
would happen, you had to play with a bank of toggle switches on the console
to key in a short bootstrap program that would load the rest of the loader
from the paper tape.
Anyone care to guess which of the above are true and which are false?

B and C.(true) been there done that. Now "A" on the other hand wouldn't make sense from a physics standpoint as the "rotational effect" would only be present during initial power on. Al Dunbar [MS-MVP] wrote: [color=blue] > "Bob I" wrote in message
