Computers remember their programs

I thought that perhaps you could make it so computers use damage values to store their computer IDs when their broken, so you don't have to temporarily store all your programs to a floppy disk…would be useful for when you want to move your computer elsewhere, especially if it has a lot of large programs on it.

I also did a search on NEI in tekkit for any other blocks using ID 203, and none showed up, so I assume it would be the same for vanilla+CC.

If you set a label for the computer:

os.setComputerLabel("My Laptop")
or "label set MyLaptop" on the shell,
the computer data will be preserved when breaking the computer block. than you can carry it to somewhere else, place it and use it again.
