I'm open to making it more succinct, as I agree mine is very verbose.
But it is a somewhat complicated topic. If other people find your
verbiage easier to understand I'll change it. Opinions?
As for the newlines, they are needed to avoid a ridiculously long
tooltip (there might be a smarter way to have the tooltip text wrap
though...maybe by using BTextView inside the tooltip.) Tips here are
appreciated too :)
If there is any way to automatically detect the BIOS setting that
would be the best solution though.
