blue wire: n. [IBM] Patch wires (esp. 30 AWG gauge) added to
circuit boards at the factory to correct design or fabrication
problems. Blue wire is not necessarily blue, the term describes
function rather than color. These may be necessary if there hasn't
been time to design and qualify another board version. Compare
purple wire, red wire, yellow wire, pink wire.
