Some of you might remember the PC/XT and AT clones back on the day that had the flashy "TURBO" button on the front that would increase or even double your processor clock speed, and was marketed as something of an upgrade. The reality of it was that this switch actually cut your clock speed in half. Tons of old DOS programs used to just run as fast as the processor would let them, so older games would run at ridiculous speeds on these newer machines with their sweeet 16mhz processors or whatever. Manufacturers needed a way to slow the processor down to make the older programs usable, so they added the switch. Normal position had the clock speed set to half of maximum, or similar, while pressing that big TURBO button didn't really do anything except let the processors use it's full speed. I know this is different, but it just sort of seems like the same type of bs.

These are made by Panasonic, not Toshiba.

I probably should have mentioned that it lags behind the Windows version by a substantial amount, but hey - it does exist.

Skype is available for Linux, FYI.
