- The Bit Recycler Version 1.2

-
- Inside your computer are millions of little bits.
- Each one of those bits can be a one or a zero and as your computer
- runs programs each one of these bits changes its state, often
- thousands of times every second.
-
- Understandably, this puts a lot of pressure on your bits and,
- after a period of time, some of your bits may start to wear out.
- At first your bits become a little bit cranky and don't change
- quite as quickly and after much use they may become worn out on
- the edges.
-
- The Bit Recycler is designed to reconstitute your bits, making
- sure that your bits are always in top shape.
-
- When you first run the Bit Recycler, the title screen will appear.
- The first thing to do is to select "Analyse Bits" from the Run
- Menu. The Bit Recycler will proceed to analyse your bits and
- determine their average state of health. When analysis has
- completed you will be presented with a report. If the report
- recommends bit recycling then choose "Recycle" from the Run menu.
-
- Bit Recycling has three stages. First, your worn out bits are ground
- up into a sort of bit 'mush'. The bit mush is then boiled and poured
- on to a conveyor belt where finally, brand new bits are stamped out.
-
- Bit Recycling is a maintainence operation which should be performed
- at least once a month. This will normally substitute for the old-
- fashioned way of recycling your bits. Somewhere inside your computer,
- usually tucked away beside the hard drive, there is a little container
- called the 'Bit Bucket'. Worn out bits usually accumulate in the
- Bit Bucket. For manual recycling, bring your computer to a trained
- Bit Recycling Technician. He will remove the Bit Bucket and pour
- the worn out bits into a little spout on the back of your computer
- where they will be reprocessed.
-
- * NOTE: Do not attempt manual bit recycling yourself.
- The above description of manual recycling is a
- simplified outline of an inherently complex and technical
- operation. Use the TOGGLE BOOLEANS Bit Recycler instead or
- consult a trained technician. TOGGLE BOOLEANS will not
- be responsible, in any way whatsoever, for any damage
- or data loss caused by the use of the Bit Recycler
- or following these intructions.
-
- Version 1.2 also add the ability to detect and execute subversive
- elements among your bits. Sometimes when bits are worked too
- hard they become revolutionary. If your Ones are being worked
- harder than your Zeros, the Ones begin to feel like they are being
- exploited and if there is strong leader among them, they can
- rampage through your computer trying to turn all of the Zeros they
- find into Ones.
- This can cause great havoc for the computer user, so it is important
- to ocassionally discipline or execute these subversive elements.
- To do so, select Execute Subversive Bits from the Run menu after
- Bit Analysis has completed.
