You need to add the Hammurabi 1.003 upgrade and make sure to have the
right consistancy in the clay. If it gets too wet then micro-droplets
gett sucked into the G5's fans and you make bricks on the CPU cooling
fins. Alas, there are no micro-Babylonians to press into service to
scrape them off so you have to offer and arm and a leg (or more) to
get it fixed.

You might consider an upgrade to the Greek stone-carver hardware that
even Slobodan would have some faith in. You just put the writer on
your granite counter top and let it go! The downside is the scuplting
of the counter tops but at least your data is secure!
