There was a bug in Helios this morning.  Literally.  The first page of
my printout has the flattened, cooked remains of a fly (or a bee?
It's hard to tell since the body is not in very good condition).  It
doesn't seem to have done any lasting damage.  There is a smear on the
next page, but it cleared up on later pages.  You might want to do
some cleaning or parts replacement early, just in case.
