I finally graduate in about 2 months. However, much to my dismay, I have to finish my social volunteer work. No, I didn’t do anything weird – it’s just a graduation requisite. I’ve been working at my university’s computer division, so I’ve had to format anywhere between 4 and 15 laptops every day. Yes. Every. Single. Day.

Unfortunately, most of the laptops are Dell C610s – in other words, 1GHz, 256MB RAM and they’re running Windows XP. You can probably tell that it’s very fun to optimize each system. (I’m proud of myself, they run pretty nicely for the low specs they’re sporting…)

With this in mind, I decided to code a .NET 3.5 application (free, of course) that does the job for me and also manages to be fully extensible through the use of a text-based hack database.

If you’re interested in downloading it, give it a go here. Read more if you’re interested in some of the example hacks, as well as the database specification.
