Trouble shooting the internet : part #<no count available>

Hey everybody.

I was at my friends place tonight. and we had sort of a geek night. we both work in <insert computer related fields here> and ... well anyway... we've got some trouble making his inboard sata raid controller working and I ended up on that website relating to a similar problem.

"Via VT8237 Serial ATA BIOS Setting Utility V 2.10

Scan Devices Please Wait!
Press <Tab> key into user window!

(Tab doesn't work BTW)

Hardware Initiate Failed Please Check the Device!!!
The BIOS does not be installed. Press <g> to continue"

the original question of the thread was that pressing TAB when the raid controller was asking us to would simply do nothing. and tonight. my friend figured out that the bios simply had PS2 support disabled. Microsoft Windows (the OS I respect very much hahahaha) is later on adding his own PS2 support so the BIOS did not need to support the keyboard device ... Until you really need it. mouhahaha.

Accidental feature discovery in Firefox 2.0

So my programmer hands today made one of those mistakes who makes me discover new features. I hit Ctrl-Shift-T instead of Ctrl-t to open a new tab. result? It reopen the tab I had close last. With all Back history and everything.

Try it out. Ctrl-w to close a tab, and Ctrl-Shift-T to reopen it. A feature that might be very useful in case you close a tab by mistake. I'm not sure If it's a new feature with 2.0. All my computers runs 2.0 now and I cannot test it with 1.5

but anyway, I thought it might be interesting to share it.
