   To answer how the USB keyboard could be used is to hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to   
   reboot the system.  On a system that goes to the CAD message with a    
   USB keyboard has to be shut off instead of CAD to reboot.  While it is   
   annoying when you run into it, I really only run into it really when    
   booting from the eCS CDs and going to the System Maintenance so is not   
   in general a high priority I wouldn't think.
