Home-Built Pedal Powered Laptop

This followup to the pedal-powered TV, builds upon that creation and uses the same technology to power an IBM ThinkPad. What are your thoughts? Video after the jump.
The PPPM is used to power a laptop with pedal power. An easy pedal, the laptop is cold-booted and the video finishes with the laptop connected to the local wireless network. Add a laptop table, and pedal while you surf
