Thanks for clearing that out, that is exactly what I meant. I've /never/ 
seen a computer that had a BIOS setting to disable the keyboard.

On the other hand, what ramcneilly@gmail.cum probably wanted to mention 
was the setting "halt on all errors, but keyboard". But then again, that 
setting is only useful for a system that doesn't require keyboard input 
and can be (re)booted without a keyboard connected. Like a server which 
can be configured by remote administration. If he wanted to mention that, 
he, well, had to mention that properly.

Conclusion: ramcneilly@gmail.cum is a total fuckwit and I was right 
laughing at his daft reply. And I was right laughing at GT, too.
