Lest we forget.

Win 3.11 ran on top of DOS on a FAT filesystem.

Habitually turning it off and on again was guaranteed to get the Disk Corruption Fairies[1] to sit up and take notice.

[1] As in: "Did you turn it off with the power switch again?".

"No I didn't!"

"Right. Must have been the Disk Corruption Fairies at work then."
