Try banging on the keyboard in the exact way he did, but reverse.

Years and years ago when I was a kid I was going through our computer and deleting all of my games. I wanted to delete Spear of Destiny (the sequel to Wolfenstein). The file was called SOD and at the C prompt I was supposed to type "del SOD". Instead I typed "del DOS". I am an idiot.

Once at the command line all kinds of stupid can happen.

That's why god invented the UI (well actually Steve jobs did, but God ripped him off)
