It's the anxiety sensor. I first learned of these from John, a technician
at Prime Computer back in the late '70s. Every summer we would get a crop
of new engineering graduates. They would often get frustrated when trying
to boot up an machine in the lab. The tech told them it was the anxiety
sensor. The machine can sense when the operator is anxious, and will
respond by refusing to work correctly. John would then calmly walk up to
the machine, flip the front panel switches a number of times, and the
machine would boot up. The new engineers would always gawk in awe of this
super tech.
