Technique 6.1: The Art of Desperate Repair

Also known as "Banging on it with a hammer until it works," this ancient technique has been lost to the sands of time. Or not.

Steps:

  1. Assume that a simple reboot will fix the problem.
  2. Tap your fingers on the keyboard with increasing urgency.
  3. Stare intensely at the screen until the words "Loading..." appear.
  4. Bang on the keyboard with your fists.
  5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 until the problem is solved. Or you get a headache.

Remember: it's not just a repair technique, it's a lifestyle.
