Back in the day I used to interrupt my Apple IIgs with...


Control + Open Apple + Delete

During start up.

This would interrupt the startup and place a blinking cursor at the bottom of the screen. From there, I could run any Apple Basic program or direct it to perform certain duties: HOME; DIR; LOAD, etc

Or you could play PONG

I'm sure that little has changed since then.
