This is, apparently, a known BIOS issue which can be alleviated by updating
the BIOS.  However, from what I can tell, Sony requires that you pay money
to the Microsoft corporation in order to update the BIOS (strange business
practice, I know) and nobody around here seems to have found a workaround to
this barrier.

For now, I would simply live with the minor annoyance.

On that note, I have an oven for sale (manufactured by the nice folks at
Jeff's Oven Corporation) that only cooks food purchased from JeffMart
Grocery Stores.  Anyone interested?

Jeff
