If you start up your Mac (any mac!) holding F and O (or was it apple F O?)
you end up at a forth prompt. I haven't got a clue what to do with it, but
it seems some people wrote amazing games etc. for it. You have access to
all original hardware in the Mac!

Also, there's a key combination that takes  you to forth, allowing you to
kick a porgram out of memory with a G and the first letter of the program.
Not much of a interface. I only pressed the combi accidentally in force
quits, I've never realy used it. But it can be usefull if it wasn't the
program on top that froze your system, but something underneeth (say,
finder is on top, and Internet Exploder crashed while doing MS shit in the
background)

Windows 95 was introduced with the stones song "you start me up..."
The refrain is "you can make a grown man cry". So they knew...
