WHY would anyone need to implement a way to force a crash like  
that?

"After this is completed, the keyboard crash can be initiated  
by using the following hotkey sequence: Hold down the rightmost  
CTRL key, and press the SCROLL LOCK key twice."

OMG.

I have to wonder what other keys (hold down key x and tap key y  
n times) ..they might have wasted time implementing.

EFS intriqued me. I always thought it would be handy to have at  
least one live-encryted folder or something.  But it doesn't  
sound prudent to play with it now.
