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.
So after a bit of digging around i actually found THE FIRST WORKING AMISH LAPTOP COMPUTER!!!!
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 )

I got an Amish virus email once, it read something like:
