computer from the still working parts of computers that more well-off kids at your
college could have fixed but opted to throw away because they could simply buy another
one. Taken from the genius who developed the technique, Shyam Gouri-Shouresh
Shyam and his pals would stalk the halls of Trinity
College in late May taking pieces of
dead computers only to Shyam a super computer out of them by
mid July.
