actually, the crank is history.
I had heard that the crank will be reintroduced on models going to very
primitive areas, that it had been removed because it generated
distracting a distracting buzz, e.g.
"Hey Melinda, what do you call a crank on a computer? Nick Negroponte."

My uncle likes to say that the world’s biggest troubles started when the serpent said, “Try this fruit, and by the way if a bunch of people collectively calling themselves Arthur Andersen signs something it’s the same as if a person named Arthur Andersen signed it.” I don’t get the serpent and fruit part. Must be some Swiss mythology thing. He can be a bit obscure.
