True, but you could compromise and instead of having a randomly selected pattern of seemingly random beep patterns for every motherboard bios ever made to indicate video bios missing, you could just have an industry standard to send morse code "v". It would require similar to less code, definitely less docs, and somewhat less training.

I don't text but my phone had a "ringtone" to announce SMS messages that simply beeped out "sms". I agree that it could have beeped out "GSM 03.41 Short Message Service Cell Broadcast" but "sms" did just as well, much faster.
