<maywood> Has a PC ever been known to start mysteriously
working after it was thrown out a window?
<kevin> Nope, I've never known throwing a PC out the window to
help. However, what I did find while I was working at my last
job was that intimidation *does* work. When I was having a
particularly bad day, I used to take some old equipment that
we wouldn't have been able to sell outside, and go Office
Space on it. Then, I'd bring the carcass inside, and leave it
in plain view, to serve as a warning for the other computers.
It worked remarkably well.
