RE: Asteroids Problem Solved..

Boy, did that open the way back book. In the "day" that was called the Atari
Twist. One of my friends had an Atari 1040ST that started to malfunction.
Since it was under warranty, we called Atari. They said grab front right
and back left corners. Twist. Do the same for the other corners. Now pick
it up four inches from the desk and drop it straight down. Did it fix
it...... Yes...... Oh, the days of real computer tech support.....

I'm guessing this would be a test for poor solder joints??
