Those hand chargeable flashlights and radios. Think of it, the next big thing in personal computing, a exercise bicycle attached to a generator attached to a PC. It gives a whole new meaning to cruising the Internet. Maybe it might even get Americans to loose a few pounds.

I had in mind most of sub-saharan Africa. Where does your mother live?
Are you claiming that your mother's laptop runs in a country with no infrastructure?
When I talk about a country having no infrastructure I mean that in most parts of the country, or for most of the population, there is no electricity.
I'm intrigued to hear that graywolf thinks laptops needs no infrastructure. Do they run on solar power? Clockwork?
