that install demand immediate and serious attention. Bug Number One One is the Isaac Newton Memorial Bug. This bug embodies the second half of Newton's Law of Inertia: A body in motion continues to move at a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted on by an external force. Or wall. Or crate. Or door. The INMB, once it kicks in, makes it impossible to stop moving. Press and install release the up key and you keep moving forward as if the up key had never been released. Press and release the down key and you'll back install up until you can back up no longer. Same with the right and left keys. Sometimes jumping up and down will briefly repeal the Law of Inertia. Other times it is necessary to leave the room and return. Unless, of course, one is on a rooftop and there is no simple way off. Except down. Way, way down. Even with the trainer, falls are fatal. Bug Number Two And then there is the Invisible Assassin Bug. The first time I ran into this one, I had just discovered a friend of the family.
