    The guy at work, whom states that he is highly PC-knowledgeable, insists
that flash upgradeable BIOS is an "archaic" motherboard design feature. He
states that ALL recent motherboard designs have the more "advanced"
non-flash upgradeable BIOS's - in particular, all the new Award BIOS chip
motherboards.

    He dares anyone in the hardware newsgroups to prove him wrong.

    Is he an idiot?
