HELP
A:\JOLLY> ask why only one smile
four pixels were budgeted for the face. all four went into the mouth.
A:\JOLLY> ask where the chart actually goes
past the bottom edge of the glass. see the field report above.
A:\JOLLY> ask if the agent changes expression under load
no. that shipped as final in v1.0.
A:\JOLLY> ask what reboot actually resets
the boot log and the chart. the smile was never in the reset path.
A:\JOLLY> ask if this is really an 8088
no. the badge said 8088 before anyone checked, and it stuck.
