The conclussion is that, if you want to get in shape, you just have to live healthy.
This is: - Drink plain water (no soda, beer, coffee, etc) - Eat more fruits and vegetables, and less fatty stuff. Have you ever heard of the mediterranean diet? - Do physical exercise. Walking is good enough and pretty easy. Biking is also excellent. Forget about elevators, and try some martial arts or any other sport you like.
This is not the first time it's done. Let me tell you the whole history...
Since three years ago, Iberian hackers hold an annual meeting, called HackMeeting.
The first one (code named hmbcn00) took place in Barcelona (Catalonia), in a squat called Les Naus, in October 2000.
The second one (code named hmleioa01) took place in Leioa (Basque Country) also in a squatted house, the Udondo Gaztetxe, in September 2001.
Finally, last October, it was hold in Madrid the 3rd HackMeeting (code named madhack02). As the previous meetings, it took place in a squat (El Laboratorio). This time gathered about 600 hackers.
It's not determined yet where the next HackMeeting will take place. Maybe somewhere in the countryside in Aragón.
Well, let's come back to the oil-powered PC.
In every hackmeeting there is a computer room, separated from the talks room. In the 3rd HackMeeting, the local HackLab (called Wau Holland 2001) had assembled a PC, put it in oil and placed in the computer room for public use.

Good luck!
I didn't read all the comments, but I'm surprised nobody posted some of these links:

Another case in Slashdot, some years ago. An Australian got his money back.

Windows Refund category in the Open Directory Project.
I bought an used laptop (3rd hand!), and it didn't have M$ Windows, but SUSE. I formatted it anyway, and installed Debian

I've placed a selection of pictures of the computer in oil (shot by Maky and Fernando Vicente) in my personal home page. Hope you like them.
