Reminder: don't forget to buy a wooden stylus to go along with your wood-covered phone, pda, laptop and your wooden monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

Of course, there's always Luddite -- "Nature's Computer Company"

A "wooden stylus"? We used to call them pencils....

Blech! The labtop is so tacky. Is it me or does it look like wall panelling? Major ick factor.

Oh, I like. They have kits for my PDA, too. I can't hand over my boring Windoze laptop to them for the amount of time it would take to make the modification but the PDA kit is DIY. I may have to indulge -- that would certainly make it a bit more individualised. Mmm. Hanukkah is coming soon. . .

Reminds me of dashboard veneer. Or '70 rec rooms.

Yeah, the wood idea is nice but there's no interesting design here. C'mon, the Luddite company looks like it just makes the same boring tower/monitor/etc. shapes but out of wood. Ooooh. And both sites are pretty bad, especially the first.

I think Luddite is supposed to be a joke. See their company history.

Ah yes, i take it back. The Luddite thing is okay with me. Wait, you mean the woodgrain on my 2600 is just a sticker? Damn.
