You do not use a pen with a laptop + he should know that putting a laptop in your lap is not good for health

 

Maybe its a tablet PC, or maybe its just a tablet :smile

 

It's too big to be a MAC.

 

Somebody let Detecto out of jail?

 

in that case the touch screen will be on the upper half and he would probably be using his fingers any way

another point, they did not have electricity back then .

 

Or maybe it's an Greek version of the Conder token and it's advertising laptop repair. And the technician is depicted cleaning between the keys with chopsticks. See even back then most technology came out of China.

 

Its an older Mac

 

I don't think the Cult of Jobs had started at that point - maybe with the Romans, perhaps?

 

I bet he's running linux on that ancient laptop, rumour has it that those ancient imacs didn't have the processing power to run OS X.

 

Hello

Did you know that the American Museum of Natural History uses Linux to run the Rose Planetarium.

Amanda, I had no idea, but I'm not suprised Linux is a great OS.

Cheers

 

Slackware 3.1. An OS downloaded to 144 floppy disks over s 2.4 baud modem.

That is most certainly concrete evidence that laptops are ancient technology! We must revise our textbooks!

 

That guy is looking so cool and has such a big smirk that you KNOW he is running a mac.

The Antikythera Mechanism in the Athens Museum beats any Laptop

 

What the blasted devil are you folks talkin' about?

 

Sure - tell him. He's happy with his mac and can't be talked out of it.

 

Davey thinks we's all rebels and should be hanged........

 

He is Brittish. They voted against the Greek bailout if i recall, so he is suggesting they use something less pricey.
