	Why go thru all the hassle when software would be easier? Or a 
very small camera placed in the ceiling watching the keyboard? 

	It would seem to me that building a hacked chip that did 
_everything_ that the original did plus would be a lot more difficult 
(think Fab Plants, tool up costs, engineering) than just faking an alien 
abduction...
