That's right, folks. The ancient Greeks used laptops. And now we have proof.



If there were any doubt, this conspiracy theory YouTube vid should settle the controversy once and for all.

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Those ancient laptops were pretty fast. It only took a minotaur two to boot up.

Sigh. They are still using PS2 keyboard and mouse ports. Obviously prior to the Usb dynasty.
