When I was deeply depressed, I started hoarding computer parts and racks... In the hay day of it all I have 5 Sparc 5 servers as a stand for a Sun 21" monitor (55-70lbs) a Honeywell Bull terminal and hundreds of burnt out or blown up pieces from old machines stacks of hard drives... Craziness. But it's all gone now.

Keeping a PC Personal At School? 695

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?"
