CP/M was fantastic! Not like the cheap Win overlay of DOS.

The original OS, and if Kildall had been a little more interested in his business we could have been considerably better off right now. Fucking Windoze!!!

My current PSU does ~70 amps on 12V rail, and it's quite moderate. There are ones that go beyond 100 amps.

I just checked mine, it's a hundred amps on the 12v rail, my thinking went "but the powerboard trips at ten amps!". It would be safe to say my knowledge of what happens inside the magic electrical box is ...lacking
