It seems like you are an incompatibilist concerning free will.
Freewill can be reconciled with computationalism (or any deterministic
system) if one accepts compatabilism ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_will#Compatibilism
). More worrisome than determinism's affect on freewill, however, is
many-worlds (or other everything/ultimate ensemble theories). Whereas
determinism says the future is written in stone, many-worlds would say
all futures are written in stone.
