New I'm reminded of an old story
There was a QA person whose first test was to load the program, take both fists, and pound the keyboard. Almost inevitably, the program would crash. The developer would inevitably have a look of utter horror and would say, Nobody would really do that! The response? You don't have a two year old, do you?

Cheers,
Ben

for a while, I had to keep my servers in a quasi public area. I always loved it when my son would get in the room and push the reset button so he could see the lights on the front of the box flash:)
