I note that the lamp is still electric. Does it actually work on
steam, or is this decorative? Kind of makes the pressure cooker thread
on topic too!

Bah!
That is just a sewing machine with some pipe fittings stuck on.

Check out this laptop:

I particularly like the wind-up key on switch.

Then there is the wide wide world of steampunk nerf guns. My DH found
out about those and now I have nerf stuff, wierd hardware, and cheesey
antiqueing and faux finish kits scattered about my kitchen. He had
already turned half of the room into a mountain of strange stuff, now
the wierdness is leaking into the cooking zones. I may have to
threaten to withold mincemeat at this rate.

While the world may be saved by steam, most steampunk stuff has never
seen the slightest hint of water vapor. The people who design the mods
are just trying to make the stuff look like it could be a clockwork or
steampowered thing.

Nothing has been the same since that house fell on my sister.

Yeah, I've seen that laptop and a couple of others before. I'm always amazed
at how detailed those people can get!
