The slugs are taking over! They are aiming to achieve dominance by 3007,
because they are quite slow after all. When they reach critical mass
they are going to federate into a BFO Beowulf cluster and rule the
world, so be warned.

I think they all are now. Previously you had to do a hardware hack to
unlock them. If you're game for that sort of thing you can increase the
memory by tacking chips of RAM and soldering them in place of the
existing ones. Giving me a soldering iron is like giving a monkey a box
of live grenades so I don't think I'll be doing that any time soon!
