I'm guessing so...
Of course they will eventually run out too, then we will either have to admit
that these computers are now basically worthless to us (unless there is some
way to reach them), or just try and give them some kind of error from primenet
(?). Perhaps if there were some way to give an error like:
Primenet error 1221: Invalid assignment "IMPORTANT: SEE
