[TODAY! as you go about your regular mess hall activities, you may notice that there is a counselor covered in glitter sitting at one of the tables, typing away on her laptop]

--seriously, if this clogs up my keyboard I'm just giving up and going to live with the robocows.

. . . I take it that being covered in glitter doesn't help what you're doing?

[actionpainting]

It's kinda gunking up my keyboard and trackpad, which is the opposite of helpful.

[runstowardsfire]

Those are part of the machine?

I haven't used them yet but I see a lot of people doing so . . .

[actionpainting]

You don't have computers where you're from?

[runstowardsfire]

I don't think it's exactly the same as the thinking engine I heard the wizards have thought up . . . But it runs on electricity and there are books in the library about it. Like Computers for Dummies.

[actionpainting]

Ah, the dummy books. I'm kind of biased, but you should try fiddling with your computer some time. They're pretty useful.

[runstowardsfire]

What are they useful for?

[actionpainting]

Procrastinating.

[runstowardsfire]

That's not very useful. And it can't be the only thing that you're doing on it.

[actionpainting]

I do work on it and use it to watch stupid videos and quality movies.

[runstowardsfire]

How do you work on it?

[actionpainting]

I use it to write reports and things.

[runstowardsfire]

So it's like writing without the paper and ink . . .

[actionpainting]

Exactly!

[runstowardsfire]

And everything is stored inside the plastic box?

[actionpainting]

Pretty much! I'm not exactly a tech person, so I don't know details.
