The guards would have a moaning contest if they had to do a shake-down
to pass you through the gates for our upcoming prison "Computer
Literacy" program. You would have a ball though. They listen so much
better because they are bored to tears and absorb stuff like a sponge. 

I plan on first demoing the Hydrogen Drum Machine and fully expect a
riot of excitement and break dancing to erupt among the young guys.
Imagine one of your students willing to stick a shiv into someone
breaking line, to get to the computer to -learn- how to use a friggin'
mouse in order to compose. That's dedication to a goal! The goal is to
teach them to use a mouse. Sneaky Ric uses covert methods. 

That reminds me, order plastic covers so the Mace doesn't get into the
keyboards or system cooling fans. I can shower, the computers can't.
