Keeping a PC Personal At School?

Berto Kraus writes "As one of the most tech-oriented students in my art-oriented institution, I'm usually the one with the laptop. This causes frequent requests from other students to read mail, check some site, or connect it to the projector to display a file from their Flash drive. For the sake of my privacy, the health of my laptop, and my own peace of mind, I'm reluctant. But telling my compatriots to go to our building supervisor and ask him for a desktop-on-a-cart, as they should do, is considered rude and unfriendly. Now, I could dual-boot Ubuntu, or carry around a Linux-on-a-stick. Or I could embed the computer in my skull. For many reasons, none of these solutions is ideal. So I'm asking you, insightful and funny Slashdotters, what would you do to keep your PC personal at school?"

Love your sig. Nothing like a little Slashdot drama between uppity macFags to cap off the night.

Anyway, my solution would be for the submitter to grow a spine and tell those mooching emo fags to fuck off, politely. If he's too much of a pussy to do it then he shouldn't bring his damn laptop in the first place. If other students don't need one then he dosen't either.
