Yep, that's totally Steampunk alright.
Good Lord! Ernie Fosselius of "_Hardware Wars_"-fame??? Holy Moley!
Interesting. I've never seen Microsoft Sharepoint implemented in hardware before.
I feel very, very bad that I understand your comment. *sigh*
Don't worry, so do I.
Ernie was at the '07 maker fair pedaling around on his mechanical theater, of which this complicator is a part. My brief chat with him was the highlight of the day; he's deeply fascinating as well as a real nice guy.
