Unfortunately, due to the fickleness of my electricity (electrickery, 
more like) supply, one of the machines went down. A rather annoying 65 
days were taken with it, too.

Anyway, I did the "push in the power switch and rotate it" trick so that 
it will at least reboot.

Now the question is, how safe is this? Or how reliable?

I'm rather reluctant to do it unless I can verify that it is meant to be 
done, and others have found it effective.

Comments, anyone?

All the best.
