   Most BIOS do not provide a visual indicator which shows   
   the "input interval is open".   
      
   On my Acer laptop, the BIOS key has a *one second wide* window.   
   You have to be a Ninja to use it, and I can never quite get it   
   on the first try. It always takes at least two tries to get in,   
   and sometimes more (if still half asleep).   
      
   On the Test Machine, you have to press the key one more   
   time after the screen changes. Otherwise, it might not register   
   all the presses you made before the screen changes.   
      
   The MSI motherboard puts up a text string admitting "Boot Menu"   
   is incoming. So you can stop hammering the key once you see   
   that. That's at least a little bit of feedback.   
      
   Give them a couple more decades, the experience could be real smooth.
