message: Here are some sources that say it was Jester:
*Valut.com
*Neville's financial bolg
*Michael Dell - the Wikipedia Bio on DellI changed Michael Dell to say it Dobie. Johntex\talk 16:44, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Update - I just found the reference from Larry Faulkner's introduction of Dell as a commencement speaker and I also The Daily Texan article.  For me, the combined weight of the references on the side of Dobie is convincing. Johntex\talk 16:36, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This  article also indicates room 2713 at Dobie. The problem is that now people are starting to use Wikipedia as a source so some of those other references for Jester may have only been circularly confirming a rumor! --Grouse 00:01, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I had heard it as Jester years ago, before I saw it on the Wikipedia. My theory is that Dell had in fact lived in Jester, perhaps his freshman year, and was in fact tinkering with computers. He then moved to Dobie, where he later founded the actual company. Baseless theory and conjecture, I know. But anyway, there it is. Boxclocke - "!" 00:10, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Where did [[Michael Dell]] found [[Dell Computer]]?

message: I asked an archivist at the Austin History Center about the designer of Jester (hoping to find out the truth behind the prison-designer rumor).  She told me that the building was designed by the architecture firm Brooks Barr Graeber White & Partners.  Jester West was completed in 1970; Jester East in 1973.  More info here:  .  I wasn't sure what part of the article to integrate this information into (the top, or Facilities?), so I'm hoping someone else will.  --Miss Dark 04:01, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Jester did in fact have its own Zip code: 78787.  This changed circa 1986.  And at one time, the windows could be opened if you popped a couple of rivets and had just the right size Allen wrench to do it, but it could incur a fine and a dredded write-up from your RA if caught.  207.207.61.254 (talk) 22:22, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Both Jester East and West have been renovated to get rid of the built-in furniture for almost a decade now. Other rounds of renovations are either completed or near completion. I remember the built-in furniture, but that has been gone since c.2015 at the latest. Can anyone find other sources for the first subsection about its built-in furniture state around then or just completely update it with more accuracy plus maybe a [citation needed] or two for the past status?
