Another fun fact from @foone on Twitter[1]:

The "It's now safe to turn off your computer" screen is (sometimes) backed by DOS, meaning you can type in "mode co80" and get the DOS prompt back. You can also type any DOS commands blind, and they'll work, invisibly!

The referenced tweet below also includes a GIF of the behavior.
