You have just received the Amish virus. Because we don't have any computers, or programming experience, this virus works on the honor system. Please delete all thy files from thy hard drive and manually forward this virus to everyone on thy mailing list. Thank thee for your cooperation.

But its funnier to believe that they do.

I like how Amish are becoming mythical creatures like cyclops, minotaurs and honest politicians.
