eminds me of what happens when I start up a PC at work that is supposed
to run "headless". Without a keyboard attached at bot time, the message
that appears is "Keyboard not found. Press F1 to continue."
Go figure!
Yes - that always amuses me. That has been there from the first days of
DOS PCs.
Mind you I did once have to explain to someone that "F1" was *not* two
key presses! Have you ever been asked where the "any key" is? (8-)#
.... and you know (of course) that one can configure the bios to ignore
keyboard errors. *All* servers in data centres have to be re-configured
to do this, as I am sure again you already know.
Good one though - it is always worth repeating. I am staggered that
no-one has changed that message over the years.
