You might need to make sure you're somewhere that can take text input, otherwise, if it works, you'll just send a bunch of random characters to the std-in.
A few years ago I stumbled on a hardware level easter egg of sorts for the Model M:
1) hold down both shift keys.
2) press and hold the v key.
3) release both shift keys.
4) release the v key.
Your model M will print out a number that I suspect is a model number of its microprocessor. If you know more please post below. This is my keyboard's output: "1900312120d3d0001"
Unfortunatly no, I was being sarcastic. It didn't come accross very clearly though. many of my employees *think* they need a laptop when really they just need to work less.
100k is an estimate of the national archive's Network Administrator's sallery.
Seriously. I'd do this for free. Many people probably already have.
step 1. Massive raid 5 array with a mirror array off site and pleanty of hot spares.
step 2. Fix date stamping on whatever image format, sound format, text format you decide on.
step 3. Don't use lossy compression.
No offense to the poster but it's not rocket science to create a compression free data format with proper date formatting built in. This sounds like yet another way that the alledgedly conservative Bush administration is simply finding ways to line its friend's pockets with our tax dollars.
I'm sure that Lockheed came up with a much more complicated solution to justify their large check but I fail to see how this is a 300 M dollar problem.
