Ha! FWIW I didn’t find out what it did until well into adulthood, long after my parents got rid of that PC.
As kids, my siblings and I would push it for fun, having no idea what it did (other than make the number on the 7 segment display change). Never even noticed a difference but then again I was 6 when we got that computer.
Maybe; did Packard Bell produce upright PC cases in the early 90s? I thought they only did horizontal cases but I was like 6 back then so I’m just going by what my mom said to me.
They did - also AT&T had an upright at Sears that was the very first to ship with a sound card. We used to record loud burps and people that stopped the screensaver would get a surprise.
Don’t remember the brand but it was a Win 3.1 machine from Sears. It had a turbo button.

Packard Bell most likely.
