I once had the job of doing the preliminary testing and documentation of
some utilities for a computer maker. When it said "Press any key to
continue" I regularly annoyed the head of software by pressing the
Shift, Alt, Caps Lock, Num Lock keys, etc. while he said "When it says
any key, it doesn't really mean it." We (I?) changed the in-house
standard to "Press the space bar to continue".
