I actually managed one at work the other day. I still blame X at least partially. I kicked the mouse cord out and lost all IO from the keyboard and mouse (even after replugging). Unfortunately it wouldn't respond to ssh either. I was forced to hard reboot.
Don't blame X--that's a problem with the PS/2 keyboard/mouse electrical interface specification. Using USB keyboards and mice solves this problem.
Although, I am puzzled why ssh would quit responding ...
Windows can handle the situation and recover.
I really don't like USB mice. Three reasons- first its overkill. Second, the USB protocol takes extra processor cycles. Third, if the USB chip fries on the motherboard, can you say single point of failure?
