I'm so blue.
I'm so blue.
I'm so blue, hoping you, won't be too.

Sniff, I kinda miss that old familar hollow feeling upon seeing that shade of blue.

it works

it seems completely harmless, but it's enough to scare the crap out of someone at work

But... why would someone ever, during noremal use of the machine, hold down the CTRL key and hit SCROLL LOCK twice?

I want something that crashes the machine whenever they type the letter 'S'.

I never hold down the CTRL key and hit the  SCROLL LOCK key twice however, I do hit the SCROLL LOCK key twice quite often since I use a KVM switch. If you want something that will crash the machine whenever a letter is typed just find a really messed up W9X/ME system, you may not even need to touch the keyboard.    

Edit: This is probably something leftover from the OS stress testing to see how well the OS handles recovery from a crash.

Very likely, considering that Microsoft had an unusual show of sense and turned the "feature" off before shipping.
