mdlbear"When I try to boot my computer it just beeps continuously," ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chaoswolf complains to me.
Ten minutes later, "Tell me, my child, what happens when you pile junk on top of a keyboard?" Not hearing an immediate response, I continue, "It depresses a key. What happens if a random key is being held down while the computer is booting? It beeps."
More specifically, the key repeats and the beeping goes on. And on. And since it's spending all of its massive computational resources toggling the stupid speaker wire up and down, it's not getting a whole lot of booting done, either.
