Okay, trying to see the purpose of this button ?

Why have an NMI button to break into DDB when you can just use CTRL-ALT-ESC ?

	A button - usually on server and high-availability hardware,
	next to the RESET button. NMI is a non-maskable interrupt,
	i. e. one that software cannot opt out of.
	
	The serious part of this mail ends in this line.
	
	On your Commodore 64, it's labeled "RESTORE". :-)
