Have you ever got your schedule confused and ended up at the courthouse for two hours waiting for your buddy to get out of jail while you sit there trying not to imagine what happens to a guy in the slammer and wishing to yourself the whole time that you had brought your computer along? Well wish no more, DisposoComp is here. Just swing on down to your local CVS, 7-11, Walgreens or any one of those other places that sells stuff that I’ll be damned if I know anyone actually buys there, and pick yourself up a disposable computer. The systems could be salvaged computers from all the dot-com closures, or from all those computers universities seem to toss every year. Heck, you could probably just go door to door and ask people to give you their four year old computer that only god knows why they “just couldn’t throw it out.”

       The ramblings in this idea would seem to indicate that you've already discovered they are disposable. That makes this baked, in my book.
