>Kidding aside, I remember how I used to test the apps on computer fairs: I just pressed enter. Half of them would break... that was in '89-91, while I still frequented those places. Then my partner took a hint and introduced a new method of testing the apps: he'd place a spread palm over the keyboard and press at least a dozen keys at a time. The app was allowed to react strangely and maybe have some garbage in the data, but it wasn't allowed to break.

I had a friend that utilized a cat in the same fashion. He just had it walk across the keyboard.
