Interesting if true.

It’s so cutting edge that they had to get someone from 1996 to design the GUI!

Can someone translate this into 3 or 4 “why I should care’ sentences?

HAHAHAHAHA! I love people with a sense of humor!
It's the computer equivalent to a carburetor.
Bye-bye BIOS.

My new ASUS motherboard is UEFI equipped, and it’s pretty doggone slick. I can turn on my PC and be on the internet in three seconds, via its built-in browser without even booting to an OS. Full speed, full graphics...no hardships of any kind.
I can even insert a thumb-drive and open certain types of files from it...OS-less. If my OS crashes, and I need to obtain files from the net to restore it, I can access and download them to a USB drive or disk via the UEFI browser.
The BIOS is about to go the way of the geezer.

Mostly WinXP with a little Ubuntu and Fedora. But I haven’t installed the Linuxes on this new machine yet.

I’d be happy to see nvlddmkm.sys die this very moment.

Ah... thanks... I think....

Cool. This technology snuck up on me unawares while I was off doing other things. (Smart Grid and other stuff like that that will sneak up on you unawares. *\;-)
I'd like to hear about the Linuxes, when you get there.

Geezer Geek ping.
This is a very low-volume ping list (typically days to weeks between pings).
FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this list.

Would you kindly tell me what MB you have, what you think of it, and how long you’ve had it? The best PC I ever built had an ASUS board in it. Loved that PC! still have it, still works (built 7 years ago now).
