[Leaplist] Seeing the key to bring up BIOS

[William H. Ferguson]

Actually, Ricardo, it was the original/First computer you built for me.
Turns out that "Del" was the way to go.

I haven't had that problem with the newer machine.........yet!

Nice to read your voice.

Give my best wishes to Wade and the rest of the gang,

William
