Getting an old toy like this has actually been kinda fun...

This worked. The BIOS is now in English. Thanks. One thing I saw in my
new English BIOS that I kinda liked was that it said the battery
condition was good.

I had to use the keyboard as neither the touchscreen or mouse worked on
the BIOS screen.

As mentioned earlier the physical on-off switch always shuts down the
tablet. I have yet to find a setting anywhere to change it to sleep. But
I found that I can use the sleep button on the Windows Start screen
and the tablet will sleep so that's a workaround for now.

Another interesting thing in Control Panel. It has a Backup and Restore
Windows 7 section. Apparently that's what was on the device when new.
But when opened it says it has not been set up. Darn...
