Assuming characters find functional computers I also wonder as does
"raketenjagdpanzer" what are they good for? Lets say we find 10 boxed
486's running Windows 95. They all have modest sized hard drives and memory. They even have 10Mb Ethernet cards.
Setting up a small LAN doesnt really help anyone. There are no networks to connect to in the outside world. The industrial economy no longer exists so who needs inventory software, excel, or anything like that.
I think the really usefull computers in T2K are the little ones that are designed for specific purposes. ie) comptuers controlling industrial proccesses. Hydroplants, refineries, milling machines, etc.
But from a gaming perpective those 10 PCs could easily be useful to someone. maybe a warlord who has gotten a power plant online and needs computers to help repair the plant.
Or mabye someone needs a computer to talk to industrial machine via RS-232 port.
