way back in the day, a friend found a keyboard that had an extra "reset" key on it - it sent the ctrl-alt-delete sequence when pressed. he promptly bought one, sanded off the "reset" label and carefully lettered "ANY" on to the key. he then waited till the beginning of the college year and sneaked it into the freshman computer lab, then found a machine in the back corner of the room and sat back to wait.<p>sure enough, a kid comes in, sits down on the machine, goes through the login sequence, then hits the "press any key to continue" prompt. he scans the keyboard, finds the "any" key, and presses it. computer promptly reboots. kid waits, login screen comes back up, he goes through the sequence, hits any ...<p>he finally went to find the lab attendant TA, at which point my friend quickly swapped the keyboard back. so when the TA got there, everything just worked, and when it came to hitting "any key" there was of course no "any" key to be hit, and the TA explained what to do.<p>(epilogue: my friend's reputation had preceded him, the TA figured out he had something to do with it, and came by later to ask "how did you make that guy think there was an 'any' key?", and offer to buy the keyboard when let in on the joke)
