    Is that the computer lab under Hill? I don't remember, as I was in school before they created ARC. You aren't referring to those ancient slow computers with the opto/magnetic mouse things that needed that metal mousepad to get it to work, are you? Cause those were SLOW, nobody wanted to use them, unless you had a programming assignment deadline, then that lab would be full to the brim trying to get their assignment to compile. =)

    Put some old things on Ebay, and create a completely unmerited ferver on /. to buy them.

    Maybe by linking to other sites that don't do as well, we don't look as bad? Then again, more people would have to RTFA for that to work...
