	Several years ago, Hewlett-Packard made a calculator
	with a built-in stopwatch, and another calculator that
	was the same except for the stopwatch.  Naturally the
	latter calculator was cheaper.  However, by pressing an
	undocumented combination of buttons on the latter
	calculator, you could put it in the stopwatch mode that
	it wasn't supposed to have!

yeah, my dad just bought a remote control TV.  The box doesn't
have a mute switch on it, but if you press down two buttons
at once (I think it was CH-up and CH-down, because that's
more obscure than the volume buttons) it would mute.  He
was really blown away by that.  I guess you pay more for
not being inventive.
