Abstract
A system includes an operating system capable of providing a first operating environment and a first routine running outside the first operating environment. The first routine is adapted to selectively load the operating system or to present an interface through which a user may access and change or update predetermined information. The routine is adapted to transition the system to an off state without loading the operating system.
