Amish Laptop
THE AMISH BUILD A LAPTOP!
We all know the Amish don't use electricity, and they don't have phones, or anything to do with modern technology. But if you do a search on the web for "Amish", you will find a ton of Amish web sites. Hmmm.... How are they getting on the Internet? Up until now that was a mystery...
Well, we wanted to know, so we sent a secret agent into the AMISH TECHNOLOGY RESOURCE CENTER located in a remote underground bunker in Intercourse, Pennsylvania... What he found shocked us... and now we bring his findings directly to you... THE FIRST WORKING AMISH LAPTOP COMPUTER!!!!
(if you don't see the laptop , click here)
Well... OK... so it's not exactly what we would call a computer....but it's the most advanced abacus in history! Using ultra-low tech antique equipment the Amish have actually built a portable "computer" that is capable of accessing the Internet!
Features:
13 x 6 Bead Resolution
78 RAB (Random Access Bead) Memory
All wood construction
Chalk & slate based input
Holders for slate, chalk, charcoal and stylus
1 Chicken Power Supply
Built-in Modem (see FAQ for more info)
