Hi guys - thanks for that story - in fact I am reading from Artifacts and
discussing technology at the library in Intercourse, Lancaster County, on
April 15th - I am fascinated by Amish technology...
all best, Christine

The "Pennsylvania dutch" are actually german, for all I know.
Seems that like a case of one person saying "deutsche" and
another hearing "dutch". At least that's the explanation
Wow, I'm doubly ignorant. You are, of course, correct :)
that I heard from a native. This native was born
in a farm,
then went to Drexel university, and now he's a phd and a top
programmer of web applications for research purposes. So
not all "Pennsylvania dutch" are technology averse. His
dad, still a farmer, uses a Mac. So they even have taste
in technology.
That would probably make a terrific story for Christine Finn. Would you
mind passing along his contact information in private e-mail?
