Since we're all nerds here, I feel compelled to correct this.

The actual announcement was

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 Help! Please add goo!

The suffix was applied to a different message:

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 Please add toner.=C2=A0 You won't have to very often.

`Goo' was some sort of pre-mix that needed frequent topping up.
Hence `you won't have to very often,' to remind you which was which= .

Other messages included

=C2=A0 =C2=A0Please add paper.
=C2=A0 =C2=A0Printer check lamp is lit.=C2=A0 What do you want to do about = it?
=C2=A0 =C2=A0Service check lamp is lit.=C2=A0 You're in big trouble now= !

All these messages were designed by Tom Killian, who wrote the
local code that controlled the 202.
