regaining crashed consoles

[Shaun Oliver]

ok, in that case, what the hell do you do when your keyboard won't
responde to anything.
I had this happen the other night and the only way I could get out of it
was the reset button.
ctrl+alt+del wouldn't even work. oh well, it's probably bound to happen
once in a blue moon right?
