I worked with some ladies once who taped "Out To Lunch" posters to the front of
their monitors. When they were working, they would carefully lift the posters
(still taped) over the top of the monitors, so they rested on top (and blocked
the air vents). One day, one monitor burned out.
The repair tech was not very polite when he swapped monitors, and the posters
were removed quickly.
