1. Press Any Key to Continue...

....but I don't HAVE an "any" key!

You can disable the "Press F1 to continue" by going
to the Advanced section in Setup.  At least that works
in AmiBIOS.  I just tried booting without my keyboard,
and it worked dandy.

This may be totally off-subject, but a year ago, a device was developed that
they put in your brain. Brain cells start to grow around it, and you can
control the device with *your mind*, and it transmits every command through
the FM band. You can access an on-screen keyboard with it.

How close do you sit to that monitor?

It's off topic, but true.  See http://shadowrun.html.com/uol/datajack.html
for a couple of the reports.  Not exactly the hot-DNI datajack of
cyberpunk fiction yet, but proof of possibility.  Someday we may all
have PCs implanted and wired directly into our brains, all connected
to the internet via wireless modems.  Billions of people communicating
by artificial telepathy at the speed of thought.  (Remember to disable
Visual Brain Scripting in your neurobrowser.)  But for now it's just
a couple of electrodes used as mouse/joystick axes, which take over
important nerves.  Think I read somewhere that it took about five
minutes to get the cursor to the right place and click an icon, but
they're hopeful for speed increases in the future.

You now can imagine the Blue Screen of Death if you let M$ access your own
internal MBR...

6. Re: Press Any Key to Continue...

Once, when Win98 was just coming out, I wrote a joke program for a
more-than-fanatic friend that faked a Windows 99 upgrade setup, and appeared
to end in disaster. When he didn't laugh, I sent him the Windows 100
installer (after 99 comes 100, right?), which purported to be a "Windows for
Neural Networks" (you furnished the neurons), and also ended disastrously
saying "Your brain doesn't have enough memory to run this version of
Windows. Please restore your mind from backup."

Now that I think of it, I'm not laughing, either.
