Dear Thicko,

What scares me is that you want to update your BIOS so you post your
question about how to do so in a Publisher newsgroup. If this is any
indication of your computer skill level, you might as well plan on using
that laptop as a large paperweight or doorstop.

Yeah, Sarah. You've hijacked JoAnn's name. :)

Hey the OP did list his/her name as Thicko. Maybe that's a clue to their
intelligence.

Sure - he can do that right before he changes the BIOS. If you're going to
turn that laptop into a boat anchor, might as well do it right.

You could try the F12, F8 or DEL keys at the beginning of boot.
