Exciting New Features From Dell Computer!

Do you sometimes look at your computer and think, ” I wish I had a program that would would monitor where I go and report back to a third party! And when I mean to type in a site it would redirect me to their search engine. But I just don’t have the time to go download it on some shady part of the internet!”
Well Great News! Dell Computer does this for you absolutely free! Not only do they sell you subpar hardware, they hoe you out to anyone who’s willing to pay them!
What’s that? Thats not what you want on your new computer? Well if you slip them fifty bucks they can remove it for you.

Obviously you can just reinstall the operating system yourself, but that defeats the point of buying a prebuilt computer in the first place. It’s also outside the technical scope of most home users.

Great little video game. Plays like asteroids and making a tye dye shirt while listening to techno. You need to play it to understand.

Locknote: Text File Encryption

Locknote

Neat little open source Text File Encryption program. Doesn’t install anything so I’ll try it out on the key fob for awhile.

Just double click the file and put in the password then it shows up like notepad.
