It's Friday and my mind is fried.

I think we need a travelling/flying squad of "rescuers" who can jet/travel
to the location of the systems and recover them. I'll volunteer to quit
my
job, leave my family, and "save" lost
computers. It's probably a calling,
just like the priesthood. ( I will ignore all religious flames!) "The
salvation army of computers". I will get a battered truck and travel the
countryside as a wandering saver of discarded computers.
<SNIP>
I will nominate Sellam as high priest, Megan as high
priestess, and tony
as
hardware witchdoctor. .
