So, with the help of a friend, and some fast action, I managed to grab 3 computers. Now, keep in mind, they aren't new, but they are computers. The story goes, a school decided that they needed to upgarde their technology. So, IT calls out that they are selling off these computers. I don't know this is happening, I am hanging out with my Girlfriend at a lake house. Good fun that was. However, my friend does, and he knows how into technology I am. He IM's me and tells me about this deal. He had already told the school that he wanted too. When he contacted me with this information, this is all I got:
School is getting rid of computers.
$20 each, comes with Monitors, keyboard, and a mouse.
Pentium 4 Intel Processor at 2Ghz.
256mb of Ram.
That is all I know. But for $20, how can you go wrong? I tell them to grab those two he ordered, and if he can, pick up a third. And you know what? It all worked out. I have (In fact, I'm typing this on a new computer) three computers sitting in front of me. The RAM sucks, but I am ordering more. Hopefully by the end of this week each computer will be fitted with 1GB of ram. They only have 20GB HDD, but I don't really need more storage. So, the next step? Extreme networking and extreme LAN partying. Fun stuff.
If you have ideas on what I should do with them, post it!
Computers continue to revolutionize the world, in ways good and bad. Ideals are based around them, wars are fought with them, and people swear by them. This blog will capture my interactions with computers as I make them do some things they were never meant to do. Never.

What Are Escape Rooms?
If you're not familiar, escape rooms are live-action puzzles where participants are "locked" in a themed room. To escape, they must work together to solve puzzles, uncover clues, and unravel mysteries before time runs out. The thrill of racing against the clock and the satisfaction of cracking a difficult code makes these rooms addictive and unforgettable.
