I always took it to mean that they weren't using the keyboard at all, ie
they were running purely through the datajack. AFAIK you just didn't touch
the keys, and you get the bonus.

Mind you, I was never exactly sure what the _penalties_ for doing this were?
Anyone want to enlighten me, or do I have to go and look at my dusty and
dishevelled copy of VR for the first time in ages?
