1)  The Mech on the HA array that fails after you installed them to protect
    your most critical data, and the hot swap works perfectly.  Makes you
    look like a genius to your boss.
 
2)  The Mech that fails after you install disk mirroring, and you run off
    the mirror successfully during the repair, see above re boss considers
    you a genius.
 
3)  The network card that fails while the hacker is trying to hack into
    your system.
 
4)  The disk that fails after the full backup before the reload when the CE
    is onsite to help you move equipment around.
 
5)  The 7933 that won't spin up when someone wants to plug it in for extra
    disk space.
