New Minicomputer Fits Under Graduation Ring

As computers grow ever more compact, a new breakthrough in miniaturization is hitting the shelves of computer stores that should have great appeal to graduates and their elated parents.

It’s a computer that’s so small it snaps under the stone of a typical graduation ring. So when purchasers need to go online or create a quick document, all they need do is slip off their graduation rings, snap off the computer, and get to work.

An executive of the company that created the tiny new whiz bang said, “We expect the computing breakthrough to be the next cell phone with buttons that are too small to press one at a time. And we’ve got more surprises to come. If you really think about it, most graduation rings are huge. So there’s still a lot of room to downsize. Next year we hope to introduce a line extension that will fit under a wedding ring.”
