Of course, switching OSes is much more complicated than change the
rotational speed of an electric motor (or switch a gear). :-)

But, as matter of fact, there is: holding Option (Alt) key during boot,
makes the same thing: it allows you to choose your favourite OS.

Of course, you have to install whatever OS you like *before* using it! ;-D

On my iMac, I had OSX 10.6, OSX 10.9, Windows 7 and OS9 (via Classic) at my
fingertips; I could even install Linux if I fancied that. All on the same
internal drive.
I don't know many computers able to do that :-)
