Honest question: If you're working as lukeprog's assistant, why don't you get lukeprog to do it?

  1. He has a lot of things to do. Offloading some of them is kind of the whole point of having assistants.
  2. Buying me a computer as employee benefit is difficult for the MIRI's accounting.

Did I answer your question?

I guess my follow up question would be: if Luke is too busy to do this despite you being his assistant, why would you expect someone reading your comment to take the time and hassle to do it for no recompense?

The latter half of your question doesn't require the former. Why do people help each other on forums? That's why, I think.
