| Splork <splork@splork.net>: Nov 13 01:40AM -0500 This is an old Magitronic Laptop I would like to get going. Has 3 pin power requirement. Need help in pinout and power assignment. Have not found anything on the net for some time now. Appreciate any knowledgeable comments. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AufWwXEfoxcngjA0zRVKQftC8kQe?e=AUYVEG |

Status line typically grounded through <1Kohm is required to turn on DC. If you've got the adapter, you can identify status line with a voltmeter, while making iterative terminal contacts with a 1K resistor. Adapter rating appears similar to generic laptop chargers. RL |

Keep in mind that Amish tend to be farmers, and tend to do a lot of dairy. So, in order to sell their product, they must comply with safety rules applicable to all farm products. They will use on-site generators for power, Absorption chillers (propane-fired) for cooling, and stationary engines to run fans and other devices via belts or pulleys. >https://amishamerica.com/do-amish-use-electricity/ Some of their farms are incredibly sophisticated in terms of energy use, between turbines, solar panels, even, in some cases, hydropower. >Note also: Amish may use a (Cell) Phone, but may not dial one. And they may ride in a IC vehicle, but may not drive one. Where in the Bible does it state they may not dial cellphones and drive cars? |

The Amish way of life is not based on the Bible, but on their history of persecution before they left Switzerland and later, Germany. There are many peculiarities within the religion - for instance, they eschew buttons and zippers, they are non-violent, use long-guns, but not hand guns, and much more. Again, nothing at all to do with the Bible - but to keep themselves separate from the "English", their generic term for what is Not-Them. They are not Luddites, they are Separatists. They fully understand technology, and use what they must to comply with the law and with codes as they relate to selling their products. But no more. By the way, the technical name of their religion is Anabaptist. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

Well, it's an interesting belief system for sure - and as religions go, a very harmless one from what I can tell. Not many religions can claim that. |
