During my Freshman year I saw this principle taken to the extreme.  One of my
classmates had an explosive temper and tended to shout unspeakable things and
pound keys when his programs didn't work.  One day he was livid and pounding
keys pretty hard.  I looked over in time to see him plant his fist squarely
in the middle of his keyboard.  Keys went everywhere!  It was quite a sight.

Right now I'm playing lab assistant and teaching FSE users about the wonders
of Vi.  It's rough going...
