       more very wise advice on lubing those sticky bits!


       Fortunately, we pioneered a simpler method
       in the good ole PDP-11 days. Many times the poor
       RSTS/E machines would simply run out of bits
       altogether, stopping many a SPCWAR and annoying
       many a user. Usually we had to shut the machine
       down and let all the bits run down and collect 
       in the bit pan underneath. I'm sure the same
       is true for any Amiga. Also, a little Wynn's
       keeps those bits from lodging in high memory, 
       I can tell you! (or motion lotion, for those
       of you more intimate with Amy)
