elliston@rob.UUCP ( Keith Elliston) asks how to trap and ignore
all keyboard input.

The answer is this very elegant algorithm, which I found in some dusty
textbook (perhaps Knuth?)  It's amazing how the most complicated things
can be so simple!

1) remove keyboard cable from computer
2) Goto closet
3) Put Keyboard on highest shelf
4) Close closet door
5) Smile with relief


:-) :-)

p.s. This actually works. for those not needing top security, you might
just try unplugging the keyboard and not moving it elsewheres...
