I was talking about the "skit" you mentioned.

Ballmer is a savvy businessman. Just a bit more savvy than Jobs, which is why Jobs is relegated to the toy market with a tiny fraction of MS' size and profits, and Ballmer is running a real company.

The worst part is that BIOSes DO give the "no keyboard found, press F1" message.

Agathon: the "Press F1 to continue" message is not that strange. It just means: "Attach your keyboard or a new keyboard to the computer and press F1 as soon as you have done so to continue"

This is the 13th time you've made this assertion, and you've yet to ever substantiate it.

Please stop the rhetoric.

Silly CyberShy, facts and logic have no place in a fundamentalist's debate. Agathon, being so blinded by his worshipful obedience to the Cult of Mac, won't be convinced by your brilliant display of common sense.

I submit to you two further examples of computing idiocy.

Silly Agathon, you know posting on a board without smilies means that everything is taken at face value.

I mean, it's why I've been restricted twice. People just don't seem to get deadpan deliveries.

We have drugs that can solve that problem, though for him it might take 3 or 4.

I'm not familiar with ntk.net. Is that a North Korean website?
