Folks, I'd like to share this with you: I just went to the website of FIC (http://www.fic.com.tw) in order to see if an updated BIOS for my system is available. When doing so, I stumbled abounf FIC's "BIOS FAQ", which contains a section that somehow sounds as if FIC thinks their users are generally stupid. I somehow found this "warning" somewhat amusing, so here it is: "It is recommended to refrain from updating BIOS without a good reason. If you don't see your problem listed in the fix list, do not update your BIOS - better go to a shareware website (www.winfiles.com, www.shareware.com, tucows.com) and update your software or do something less dangerous." I had to laugh when I read this - it seems to say something like: "You're to stupid, if you want to mess around with your computer, download some software, but keep your fingers off the BIOS! ;-) Greetings Nils -- Nils Holland Ti Systems - FreeBSD in Tiddische, Germany http://www.tisys.org * nils@tisys.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
