I think that was a relay back then (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/ff/First_Co...). Also, if the climate inside your mainframe is so humid that it attracts slugs, you have bigger problems...

You wouldn't get the same pride in development on your liquid computer if you didn't have to wrestle with some slugs now and then :D

I need to deslug my computer, it's getting sluggish.

A long morning of slugfixes awaits me...

Will you do a hotslug release today?

At least Firehen has released new deslugging tools.

Meh, a month ago slug destroyed a robot lawnmower: https://imgur.com/a/k6guVxi

I’m guessing it was mutually assured destruction.
