How do I get those old machines when they're surplused?.

On programming, our machines have typically been my old laptops. Which I'm currently supplying four with to the team all bought in the past six years (don't ask). We recently got some Dell latitude 630s and some surplus desktops in and we'll see what happens with those. For the most part, we've relied on personal laptops of students/mentors.

I have no idea, I'm just an alumni. To be honest, you probably don't want them. They have hardware failures all the time. You would spend a ton of time and money replacing stuff when it breaks.

We only really have three computers, two Classmate E12's, and an old Lenovo gSeries running Windows XP with a gig of RAM. Let's just say that we're trying to get a new one for this season.
