Start preparing breakfast (required). Open your browser, login to ~okeanos, order as many machines as you like, select their 'hardware', pick up your favorite operating system, wait only a few minutes, then connect remotely to your own new working PC. And don't forget, breakfast is still there waiting for you.

Okeanos is the Greek word for ocean. Oceans stand for abundancy. Oceans have transformed our world: they capture, store and


  		





  
  33
  
    
deliver energy, oxygen and life around the planet. Oceans are the unfailing well of earth's resources, the big difference from


  		





  
  34
  
    
other planets in universe.</p>
