	Last Time I managed to unplug a Sun Keyboard from a running Sun,
I recall that it did evil things. (Something like forcing you to reboot
to recover from the error on the keyboard/mouse SI/O interface.)

	But they may have changed the behaviour of the Sun in recent releases.
	(They also make the Keyboard/Mouse plug a screw-in DB15 or something
	 like that, so maybe it's a feature....)
