Re: Wind-up power >>Uh huh. So now you're saying that it's a perfectly reasonable idea?<< Not at all. Consumers would laugh at a wind-up computer or camera these days. And Apple discovered that the added bulk to a portable computer and concern over adding a failure-prone mechanical device wasn't worth the time. >>Then why were you laughing out loud about it earlier today?<< Because Apple is just one of those companies that is willing to throw just about any crazy idea up against the wall from time to time and just see what sticks. In fact, I just heard that they plan to ship a computer with no floppy at all!
