[Leaplist] Seeing which key brings up the BIOS

[William H. Ferguson]

Thanks, Whit,

I found that the F2 key at the initial phase of boot-up gave me the
BIOS.

But, I could find no evidence of a "quick" or "slow" Set Up option in
the BIOS menu..

Guess this machine's Motherboard doesn't offer that particular option.
