The Evil Red Light was on again, last Friday (March 15) and is still on.

Is there something about the Ides of March that put this thing in a Bad Mood?

I fed it "35-2D" staples from the cabinet, and the Evil Red Light went back
to sleep.  I hope it doesn't get indigestion.


p.s.: to sys-team ... Ides of March are not an I/O controller.
