Counterpoint: I was with a bunch of friends when I was young, we wanted to play some music, and we had a computer with some MP3s on it, AND speakers, but we happened to not have a screen lying around at that time.

Didn't have. A screen.

So I asked the guy, "Where are your MP3s?" (Answer, "D:\Mp3"), turned on the computer, then hit:

  - WinKey-R
  - D:\ <Enter>
  - Mp3 (quickly, in order)
  - Context Menu Key
  - P (as in "P"lay in Winamp)
Voila, music started.

Let me see you control a computer blindly with nothing but a mouse :).

Yeah I used to know the key sequences to turn off my computer.

That's not to say that you couldn't come up with an interface for controlling a computer blindly with a mouse.

  - WinKey-R
