On my Apple Adjustable keyboard, control and power are about as far away
from eachother as you can get and still be on the same keyboard. Not
exactly 2-of-3-key-combo material. I don't have very small hands, but even
on my AppleDesign, it's a bit of a stretch.

Also, what happens if someone wants to hook up a PC USB keyboard to their
mac? Obviously not generating an NMI is a given, but no access to SAK is
avoidable. (Also can't forget non-mac PPCs)
