Good luck with that!  I've been thinking about replacing this computer
with something newer, so when I was in my local computer store
yesterday, I asked if they had any motherboards or systems that did
not have this UEFI/Microsoft crap installed. Nope. None. Nil. Zilch.
Nada. Ain't no such critter. All gone. It's hiding with Judge
