Sometimes You Need a Hammer!
Years ago, in order to debug a problem in the Windows version of this encyclopedia, the text had to be continually scrolled until it crashed. Rather than holding the mouse button down for several minutes, the weight of the hammer did the job. Were there more sophisticated methods? Of course, but none were available to the developer at that time. Two-pound hammers are not normally part of the debugging toolkit.
