I don't get this though:
"The devices will be lime green in color, with a yellow hand crank, to make them appealing to children and to fend off potential thieves."
So if I paint my car green and the door handles yellow, this will also deter theives?

No man in their right mind would use a green laptop with a large yellow handle on it.

I think the point of that is, if you show anyone a lime green laptop with a yellow crank on it, they automatically know you stole it from a child. And them comes the shame, then the guilt, then....death! Or just more shame.

luckily womenfolks don't make good thieves - they lack the prerequisite element of danger and decisivness.
they can manely spell though :/

They would if they were poor and trying to learn something.

*confused
Is the yellow hand crank there to generate power for the device, or is it just there for looks?
- kelpie0
speaking as a man, if your car/laptop were perhaps a gunmetal grey with black handles or in fact any colour associated with the military I would be much more likely to half-inch your vehicle

i think the main point here is that these laptops have hand cranks!
imagine that!
you'd get to crank up your laptop like a model t or whichever of those super old cars you got to crank up!
how great would that be?

All potentially theft worthy, I'd say:

I can see fights on planes breaking out for much less para...

(Nov 17 05, 09:02)I see no yellow handles.
however I'd be tempted to whip the 3rd one, have to admit

it's a great idea - except they'll still have to pay thousands for software.
but when they do, they'll be after all y'all jobs.
logos for a dollar anyone?
