My problematic/el-cheapo: $US190 [connex L1470 14inch laptop; 4-core
Atom] NOW shows 3 boot selections:
 windows Boot Manager
 UFI: Buily-in EFI Shell
 Enter Setup
That's after <power on> & F7.
I had previously done <Setup>, which normal/non-tech users would/could
NOT do. Re. EFI shell: do we want to learn *ANOTHER* language to
support M$hit's abusive monopoly ?  It looks like:---

I can't find my TutorialNotes <to `less` their help menu>.
At least they are following unix and have stopped their BABY-TALK of
calling directories "folders".

Correct: so saying we can just make a choice, and "there's no problem",
is simplistically wrong.

BTW, since WiFi is a welcome tech-advance: where do ANY of our oberon
systems manage that?
