Sending a "break" to a system is something that everyone knows how to do, although many won;t know that is what they are doing. For the average computer user they simply know it as "Alt-Ctrl-Del". This key sequence was the invention of IBM (Apple as a similar one but I can never remember what it is but it always used to require hands like Liberace to achieve) but it was Microsoft's poor operating system that really made it famous.
Occasionally though even the break sequence wasn't enough to solve a failure with Windows and you would have to find the reset switch on your PC or, worse, pull the power out. But no more, now all you need is the "
ultimate reset switch" on your desk. Clearly designed to make you feel like you're starting WW3!

Dizzy - nominations, please!
Dizzy, the only tool I know how to use on a computer is an AXE - this sounds as if it might do the same job.
Lovely and meaty, and very satisfying !

Dizzy your desk looks alarmingly free of clutter/unfinised tasks...
not my desk. My desk is a mess full of newspaper and other assorted junk
Hands like Liberace? That'll be Iain Dale's hands then?
Also, I don't picture you dizzy as someone who would use a wrist support or cored mouse. Or windoze...
