Band Members: "The purpose of the boss key is to make it appear to superiors and coworkers that an employee is doing his or her job, when they are actually playing games or using the internet for non work-related tasks. This was a fairly common feature in early computer games for personal computers, when most boss keys were used to show dummy DOS prompts. The use has faded somewhat as modern multitasking operating systems have evolved. However, some programs still retain a boss key feature, such as instant messenger clients or their add-ons. A modern alternative to the boss key might be to strategically place a window behind the game being played, so it could quickly be clicked on with a mouse (or a hot key) to cover up the game."
