What I'd like to do is non-destructively copy myself a lot of times (upload,
but "I" am still little old me), onto really mega hardware, then ask all the
new me's to work out how to get "me" in there too, with the other "me's"
running at super dooper really fast speed, giving them access to methods of
upgrading their hardware, etc.
I think this would probably work because
a) I'm smart; lots of sooped-up versions of me could crack this before
(virtual) lunchtime, and
b) I'm a really nice guy, so I'd want to help myself out, even if it wasn't
really myself, you know the drill.
