guru meditation
The Amiga equivalent of Unix's panic
(sometimes just called a "guru" or "guru event"). When the system
crashes, a cryptic message of the form "GURU MEDITATION
#XXXXXXXX.YYYYYYYY" may appear, indicating what the problem was.
An Amiga guru can figure things out from the numbers.
In the earliest days of the Amiga, there was a device called a
"Joyboard" which was basically a plastic board built onto a
joystick-like device; it was sold with a skiing game cartridge
for the Atari game machine. It is said that whenever the
prototype OS crashed, the system programmer responsible would
concentrate on a solution while sitting cross-legged, balanced
on a Joyboard, resembling a meditating guru. Sadly, the joke
was removed in AmigaOS 2.04.
The Jargon File claimed that a guru event had to be
followed by a Vulcan nerve pinch but, according to a
correspondent, a mouse click was enough to start a reboot.
