When a machine hears I am coming along to look at it... it straightens
up, or even the threat of calling me. At least that is what I've been
told many times. I've been told that due to my visit and nothing is
wrong. Sort of like your car, when you take it to the Mechanic, it ain't
broken then.
Sometimes a good stare works, other times its me picking up my
screwdriver or sitting in front of it. There are other non-invasive
techniques they seem to recognize.
Mostly though, percussive maintenance is by and large not needed
anymore, except on the monitors... when they start dropping a color
channel.

Self mastery is the quality of a king.
Be vigilant in your control over the self. If you cannot respond to your
will, how can you expect others to respond?
