Hey everyone. Now that things are hopefully quiet again, I have some news for ya'll. I know I ain't the only one with some computer stuff here. Besides my laptop and iPad, I just got some servers back from home. Those along with Ruri's crazy futuristic super computer should be enough to get us all

[Oh hey, it's that man that talked to his tabletpad a while back. The one with the long hair and the nice smile.]

Oh that's... that's actually a good idea. It w-would make sharing information go a lot faster and consolidating said information a lot easier. I wonder why no one's thought of it before?

Um. At any rate. This is Daniel if you remember w-which you probably don't.

[techno_mancer]

I wasn't sure how many computers we had in town. Plus, I didn't know we had such a convenient way to hook everyone together until I talked to Ruri.

Daniel... Yeah, I remember you! With the tablet computer in the park.

[Phone]

[cuttlefidget]

Oh, um, yes.

[He remembers ;u;]

I... I don't think I've met Ruri. Is she another... can she talk to computers too?

[Phone]

[techno_mancer]

So I guess that's what you'll want us to hook up to the network, then? Shouldn't be a problem. Ruri's a girl in one of my classes. Small, lotsa silver hair, as sarcastic as they come. She has this amazing computer. Ya should meet her sometime.

[doublerinbow]

Ruri-chan already set me up. ♪

[techno_mancer]

Excellent! How's that workin' out for ya?

[doublerinbow]

So far so good! She's helping me set up a website. ♪

[techno_mancer]

Nice. We'll have Mayfield's own internet soon enough!

... It happens that I have a laptop with me- a Windows 7, specifically- but... there is some material there of a more private nature...

[techno_mancer]

I thought so! And no worries man, your stash is safe. [From everyone but Quinn. Oh ho ho ho~]

My sta-

[politerudeness]

E....eehhh? W-what are you saying?! It-- it isn't anything like that! [ it's totally something like that ]

[evers_hacker]

[There is so much glee in her voice right now.]

Oh wow, that's a great idea! Hopefully I'll get my computer back soon...

... And what's an iPad?

[techno_mancer]

I hope so too! Oh, it's a touchscreen computer. I bought it just to play around with it, so I was surprised when the town chose that of all things to send back to me.

[evers_hacker]

A touchscreen? Ooh, it's been a while since I've seen one of those, most of the computers back home are mostly holographic.

And yeah, the town seems to have a habit of bringing you stuff you wouldn't expect. [Such as the 'pet' April got back a-ahaha...]

[techno_mancer]

Ha, I guess it would seem like a relic to ya, huh? I'll have to show it off sometime.

[bogusmagicker]

Networked...?

[techno_mancer]

Ya know, get us all sharing our files and info. Get everyone hooked together. Maybe I'll write up a chat program or somethin' for us all.

[bogusmagicker]

Sharing of files...

[But of course. If computers were the poor human approximation of the individuals comprising the Integrated Data Sentient Entity, then naturally, integration of some sort would be expected. That she had never thought to explore this avenue during her (admittedly limited) exposure to computers on Earth was surprising.]

The various models currently in Mayfield are generally non-compatible. You will require a operating system capable of sharing data in a uniform manner in addition to a means by which the machines may communicate.

[techno_mancer]

True, but Ruri's computer is pretty advanced, ans should probably be able to handle it. Otherwise, you're right. With everyone comin' from different times and places, we could never do it.
