Run Stop

I had a weird little flashback to childhood the other day, when I came across an odd button in the elevator at my doctor’s office. The button, instead of reading “STOP” or “Emergency”, read RUN STOP, kind of like the old Commodore 64 keyboards. I don’t think I’ve seen that command (outside of the fake keyboards programmed into some Virtual Console games) in 20+ years.

Maybe I shouldn’t admit that — I’ll get kicked out of the gamers’ club.
