Summary: "Loose chips sink ships??"

[An ST used to demo Magic Sac to an audience died spectacularly, then
mostly recovered.]

Maybe being taken from home and jostled around caused that famous chips-
loose-in-their-sockets problem, which then cured itself, at least
partially? 

There is a documented syndrome, too, known at MIT's Transportation Modelling
Research Center (TMRC) as "The Psighton Effect", which causes equipment's
likelihood of failure to increase in proportion to the number and importance
of people who have it in their "Psight".
