Insects

[Harry Bissell]

This often happens as equipment ages. Those are "Software Bugs"...
usually they are held in check by the little paper or plastic labels on
the E-PROMS. As these get old, they dry out and slowly the bugs
are able to escape.  The fix is to get new labels and paste them over
the
little windows in the PROMS. This makes the bugs go back to sleep.

AVOID the temptation to try to fix the bugs the "old fashioned" way.
This involves carefully cracking the little window open (just a crack
don't
let them get out or they will crawl into all your M****soft stuff...)
and then
spray them with DDT.  Its really hard to get the right pesticides
today... so its
better to let "sleeping bugs lie".

You can also expose them to UV light but if you overexpose then the
PROM is toast. Don't go there !!!
