Working Steampunk Laptop October 14, 2006

As steampunk-ish as this sculpture/project looks, it actually works. There's a working display, working keyboard, and working morse code input (wtf?). The creator was inspired by both the Apple Mac (he wanted to make something completely different) and Terry Gilliam. If you look at the back, there are working USB, serial, and a VGA port for the monitor.
Crazy? Definitely. Awesome? For sure! Ergonomic? No way in hell.

Fantastic! Would love one, just dont expect me to produce any long documents.
I'm an asshole and even I wouldn't use this machine since I couldn't understand it.
So..... if it runs on steam, what happens to your bawls if you set it on your lap?
