Yes. Now for a question for you: are you one of the spooks, and
are you attempting to silence dissenting thoughts? Didn't think so,
but just wanted to make sure. :-)

Now, we return you to your regularly scheduled on-topic programming:
In today's eposide of "The Menacing Mr. Mildew Meets Ol' Widder
Bitcruncher," The Ol' Widder Bitcruncher has been visited by
Mr. Mildew, and she's now beginning to turn pale from the mildew
spores that were left behind. Alas, the last time that Lysol Man
attempted to rescue her, he damaged some of her plastic parts. In
today's eposide, the Widder Bitcruncher is trying to find a way of
saving herself from the remaining mildew spores which have reappeared
since the cheerfully damp and dreary weather arrived. Can the old
Widder Bitcruncher be saved? Tune in next time and find out, but, for
now, we give you a hint: someone's attempting to save her by looking
into the use of a secret forumula called Disc Doctor---normally used
on vinyl LPs, which isn't supposed to harm vinyl records, and may be
gentle on various types of plastic.

Has anyone tried mixing up a batch of Disc Doctor (the formula used
for vinyl LPs) in a spray bottle, and using it inside, or on,
mildew-damaged machines? Has anyone tried this on mildewed floppies
as well?
