Okay, I have to know. How did you get a machine that was broken and had only
a number pad for a keyboard to shut up and give the nice little old lady
back her card? (I have this mental vision of you stepping up to the machine,
pressing the super-secret Universal Reboot keystroke combination known only
to the president and a few select Uber-Gurus, pressing cancel, and calmly
handing back her card. Or whipping out a crowbar and getting busy with it.
And then using the super-secret Universal Reboot keystroke combination.)
