Of course, an alternative to buying new terminals is to check with the
manufacturer of your current product to see if there is a way to disable the
setup key from the motherboard.  Or, remove the keycap and pull the plunger
if you can from that type of keyboard.  Just don't get too drastic...You want
to be able to change the setup if it gets blown away somehow.
