	hahaha.. No, that's not an Easter Egg..

	That is Easy Access, made for people with limited mobility.  It offers
a bunch of different things, such as being able to type anything just one key
at a time (i.e you could type option e e to get an accented e... and you would
hit option, let go, hit e, hit e..)  There's also a keyboard mouse, where
the number pad works as a mouse.  If it were a lot faster (i.e. about 10X)
I'd probably use it instead of a real mouse.
