So George what are the specs on your new computer?

Well let me tell ya, the main data center includes a 3,000-processor server farm, approximately 150TB of network-attached storage and a 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone that may be the largest built by any company to date. It has some 340 10Gbit ports and supports traffic loads of 130TB per day. Power and cooling systems sit in two adjacent rooms, which helps to keep maintenance traffic out of the data center.

Whooa George thats a fantastic, what are you going to use it for?
GL
Games and stuff.

I think he actually should use it from re-writing Star Wars 1/2/3. It really can't do that much worse, if it just removed JarJar and any attempt at romantic dialogue that alone would be a vast improvement!
