   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.
