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.
