The only problem with this is if there is a power failure (bubble in the
coke or something), it requires a human to start up.  This may not be too
big a problem if the human is the one who caused the power out...

We need a network card anyway, otherwise there's no interface with the
world.

Oh, that reminds me:  I haven't had a chance to power up the machine yet,
can I do this tomorrow in the room? (I need a monitor and keyboard)  I also
want to strip the HDs out and all the other non-coke components when we
don't need them.

Hey, I just thought...  With enough coke and electrodes, we could probably
support a HD.  It would just decrease the uptime on one coke-battery.

PS.  Do you think we could get Coke to sponsor us?  It may help to make the
pyramid...
