[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". --John Purbrick
