	Yes, and there was also a location on some of the older versions
of the PET microcomputer (remember them?) way back when which, if you
POKEd a particular location, would destroy your computer.  Honest.
It was some kind of hardware control register if, when given the
wrong value, would smoke your machine.

	Any other tales? :-)
