I was a a windows-AP class and the instructor showwed that by typing in the
correct sequence at the keyboard you can also get a list of the developers,
testers, "Mom's and Dad's" that went into the product.  The sequence was a
complicated one, something *like* holding down the control, shift, and backspace
keys while you typed in the word "windows3".  I'm sorry I don't remember it,
but he said that this was published in an article in one of the magazines,
so it should be public knowledge.  Anybody know what it is?
