A8N-E - Most useful BIOS innovation ever?

For so many years I've been hammering on the DEL key over and over, never
knowing if I pressed it too soon or too late.

It has been a while since I built a new computer, but I was so glad to see
the BIOS on my new A8N-E tells me "OK, I'm gonna go into setup real soon
now" when I press the DEL key . Don't know if this is typical of most
boards today or not.

Now if only the next incarnation of Windows would come with a "OK,
I'm gonna boot up in safe mode real soon now" message...

Per Thomas A. Horsley:

My vote goes for what a co-worker suggested back in the mainframe days.

She said that every keyboard should have a big, red "Oh Shit!" key.

You press the key and the last thing you did/message you sent is automagically
undone/retracted.

 

In my experience, that doesn't work with women, nor computers... Like in the
movie, Dr. Strangelove, once you press the button, there's no going back...

 

My asus accepts voice commands, so, I say, 'computer, run a level 2
diagnostic' and it gets done . . .
