I like the analogy that, if your car was made as well as your computer . . . you'd crash!

My Sun Type5c (US/Unix-layout) keyboard has an ANY key. It outputs a scancode of 16 but is currently unmapped in any keyboard symbol table I've seen. Can you spot it?

There is no key on your keyboard that says ANY.

A key lacking a label or mapping can be construed as an ANY key. ;) Although argumentatively, that might just be called a BLANK key. Maybe I should stick a label on it that says "This key intentionally left blank." :D

Just a couple of points:


11) Keyboard not attached. Press F1 to continue.

As said above this is a real one but it comes from the BIOS not the operating system.

Breakfast.sys, Coffee.sys and Congress.sys don't actually exist!

And lastly


21) Windows VirusScan 1.0 - "OS/2 found: Remove it? (Y/Y)"

Windows doesn't have a virus scan, you've been lied to. :D
