Oh Man!
Steve R Jones I know that you know better than what you're saying, at least I think so...But.. OK I'll try to stay objective here,
the reason I waited 10 min for windows to start loading is that not all Rigs behave the same in some cases the drive wake up a bit late and start loading.
but one thing I can tell you for sure that is that pressing any key as you say you would do. that will do nothing constructive regarding the continuance of loading windows, other that waste time (in most cases) I think what you're talking about is Hope.
