I can do that with servers too, I just walk into the room and say "Okay ladies breaks over" and bang they are up and running. I guess it's like Fonzie from happy day's.

Just happened today, get a call my printer doesn't work. Walk into there office and BAM the laser jet starts. I'm a legend in my own mind and obviously the printer knew it.
I think it's a little like when the cow sees the veterinary surgeon pulling on the long rubber glove .... all of a sudden they feel MUCH better !

After posting that I got a call from a business who's email wasn't working.
Me: Open Outlook Express
Them: Ok.
Me: Click the "Send/Receive" button and tell me what message you get.
Them: Ok. Hey... it's working now.
Me: You're welcome. Have a nice day.
I hung up and told my wife that I had the golden tough. She rolled her eyes at me. She does that a lot.
Yeah, had one of those today too but there is one BIG problem with this. These kind of repairs don't pay a whole lot. LOLQuote:

Back to the subject though... on the flip side of the coin. I once walked through a room full of NT workstations, as I passed by the artists started to curse, 4 out of 7 workstations just BSOD'ed. That's more my level of luck. https://forums.windrivers.com/

The other day I was in one of my rare silly moods. A user called saying his printer wouldn't work. When I got there, the display was flashing "Printer needs Attention". The user said he turned the printer off and on a few times, but couldn't get rid of the error message. So I leaned close to the printer and started whispering sweet nothings to it and softly stroking it.. gently turned it off and on....OnLine..
I just smiled at the user and said something like, "Next time it asks for attention, give it!" and walked out...

I might have told this story before:
For about a month, one workstation on a net would fail to connect to the server about 3x a week. I would try some stuff over the phone and ultimately go in. Each time I sat down and typed "net show" (an old lantastic command...) and walla, everything working. After a month of this, one day the user just started ranting, "I hate this #@$#@%$@%$$ computer." I turned and quietly asked her if she often talked this way to her computer. She answered, "Yes, this thing is a real piece of #$@$%!" I suggested that maybe that was the problem. That her computer had feelings too and simply needed a little positive attention. I told her to give it a name and apologize. She came over, apologized, named it George, kissed the top of the monitor, and never had the problem again......

When that happens to me and they ask how I did it or what did I flip my hands around it and say "be healed". Works for me.....isn't that strange how that happens tho?

Its kinda wierd when you walk by one computer and fix it but when you do it on a regular basis its damn freaky. It happens at least 4 times a week. You see the symtom, you try to recreate it and poof its gone.
I had a machine where the bios and video card were conflicting with WIN98SE and I restarted it and it was gone. weird
