Computer

The **Personal Computer** can be bought for 2999 coins in the Electronics Store, plus warranty and delivery fees. Also, there are many computers in R Corp, as well as in some other businesses.

## General usage

To turn it on, make sure the plug is inserted into socket, and press the power button. To turn it off, select SYSTEM -> SHUT DOWN in top left corner of the main screen. You can also reboot it from this menu. To insert disks, drag them from the backpack towards the disk drive. To remove the disk, press the eject button or drag the disk application icon to the trash.

## Applications

Pre-installed applications are Schedule, Solitaire, and Trash. You can move app icons around on the desktop.

To start an app, click on it. To exit an app, select MENU -> QUIT in top left corner.

You can insert disks for additional applications. If you forget a disk in a computer in R Corp, it will disappear the next day. Disks don’t disappear from the home computer.

### Schedule

This application shows your schedule for the current workday in the R Corp. There’s nothing else to do in this app.

### Solitaire

It’s a single-player card game, similar to Klondike Solitaire, which is preinstalled in many real-world computers. If you are stuck, you can restart from scratch by selecting MENU -> NEW GAME in the top left corner. If you win, it shows jumping cards animation, but does not give any prize.

### Trash

This application’s only use is an alternative method to remove a disk from the computer.

### Disks

#### Celery disk

To enable this application, insert the Mystery Disk which can be won in the Arcade. This app shows a random character dancing.

#### Password recovery

To start this app, insert the Password Recovery Disk received from the Fox in the last portion of the R Corp Storyline. However, this app does not recover any passwords here and eventually shows 4 question marks.

#### Virtual Bread

To play the game, insert the Virtual Bread disk received from the Virtual Duck. A gold bar is awarded after winning, but only the first time.

## Malfunctions and recovery

### Food in disk drive

If you put a food item into the disk drive, the computer will immediately go into the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). The error message allows you to learn exact in$game name of the item you inserted.

To recover, remove the food with the eject button (the food will become fried), and restart the computer with the power button.

### Reinstalling the OS

You can reinstall the OS by starting or restarting it with the OS disk in the drive. This is the disk you use in the Technical Support job at the R Corp. However, this is never actually needed for your home PC.

If you lost this disk, you can find it in the locker on the 2nd floor of R Corp.

If you turn off or unplug a computer while the OS is reinstalling, the computer will be irrecoverably broken, and the text on the screen will tell you to buy a new one.

If you broke the computer in the R Corp office, it will be replaced with a working one on the next day.

To replace your home computer, talk to the Electronics Salesman in the Electronics Store. If you bought the extended warranty, the computer will be replaced for free (infinite number of times), otherwise you’ll have to pay 1500 coins each time. You will not have another chance to buy the warranty.

## Trivia

* According to the booting screen, the BIOS is “MegaBIOS (c) 1992 Raccoon Enterprises Inc.” and the CPU is “R-Corp (R) Dual MegaZeux @66.00 MHz”. The 66 MHz frequency is prominently advertised in the windows of the Electronics Store.
