 Build 542.0, q2c25

 Lindsey's laptop, B4, that she had been using successfully for a few days
 decided on power up that it was not activated. It kept shutting down with
 the message that this laptop was not activated.

 The last thing she remembers doing is trying to shut down the sesame
 street video. She couldn't figure out how to do that so she held the power
 button down. After that the laptop was deactivated.

 Is this a reasonable response to a forced shutdown?  If so do we have to
 somehow warn people about what can happen if they hold the power button
 down?
