   Hello Sean!

   I don't recall the "escape" story.  But, interesting.

   Ctl-Alt-Del doesn't seem awkward to me.  For the most part it's     
   a two-hander, but achieved rather comfortably.   
      
   What *is* awkward is the way for changing a simple default     
   operation on a car radio:  press and hold power button, turn     
   ignition on, tap volume up twice, turn ignition off and on     
   twice, press volume down three times.

   The Thinkpad T60 has HDD password feature, and a fingerprint     
   scanner.  I've been afraid to even try those incase the     
   internal systems would fail.
