What's a BIOS?

[SyberBitch]

I don't know what each letter stands for nor am able to tell you the egghead terminology for it but it is what "sets up" your computer's system. So here's the "dummy" version.

It's the info on the mother-board that tells each component on the computer how to communicate with each other, recognize each other and without it your computer will not load.

It's where your operating system info lives.

This is the shit you see when you reboot your computer - that weird black screen with the info you don't understand.

Ok, so vote 'NO' if you didn't know before reading Ant's post.

(D thinks that most folks here know what a BIOS is, I say most don't and don't give a flying)

Oh, and it stands for Basic Input Output System, but yeah. Only geeky types ever really mess with it.
