Ah, it's refreshing to see people who haven't dealt with BIOS and system
vendors for very long, your good attitude is a wonderful sign :)
Seriously, if there is ANY chance that it could be broken or changed, it
will be. I place the odds that your next hardware product will do just
this for no obvious reason at all and am willing to buy the beer if it
doesn't happen.
thanks,
