What Does Your Escape Key Do?
Yeah, CSI: NY has some pretty unrealistic parts to it. But I still watch it some.

He shuts down the ENTIRE SYSTEM by pressing the ESCAPE KEY:

Can your escape key do that? Only if you’re in CSI. >>If you need legal help, feel free to call Andrew: (540) 318-5824.

My escape key IS pretty powerful. I have a mac and it’s designed such that the escape key pretty much gets me out of anything. My F7 key shuts down all power in Chicago.
Nice blog, by the way. I really enjoy reading it.

I never thought this post would’ve spurred such great comments! More than anything, I wanted to poke a little fun at Hollywood. Thanks for your great responses!
