well i guess thats that

Looks like amber AND green to me:


Dude used Windows 10 with a combination of proprietary and open source software.

quote:

My main interface to the computer is through an open source program called ACAT, written by Intel.

....

Through ACAT I can also control the mouse in Windows. This allows me to operate my whole computer. I can check my email using Microsoft Outlook, surf the internet using Firefox, or write lectures using Microsoft Word. My latest computer from Intel also contains a webcam which I use with Skype to keep in touch with my friends. I can express a lot through my facial expressions to those who know me well.

The Hawk seems the kind of guy who'd use a supercomputer for his really important computations.
