lol :) 

I reckon the NTL box can smell your fear! You might want to invest in one of 
my pungent engineers' shirts - pre-odoured with the sweat (and optional blood 
and tears - deluxe model only) of a "qualified" Information Systems Engineer. 
The roles of fearer and fearee (NB: not a real word) will be reversed when 
the equipment encounters the presence of an engineer, at which it reverts to 
its factory standard operation (i.e. works-in-presence-of-engineer mode). I 
have started leaving my old socks near intermittently faulty hardware - works 
well so far! Also, my soon-to-be-released book, "Engineering Feng Shui", 
details the use of balancing "engineer Yin and Yang" to coax your I.T. 
infrastructure into harmony.

Regards,
Michael Erskine
