The Apple IIGS laptop
April 14th 2008
Ben Heckendorn is person who likes challenges. In fact, when someone suggested he build a laptop computer based on an old Apple IIGS, that's what he di.
As many of you know I grew up during the 80's and spent a lot of time with the fun 8-bit computers of those days. One of my favorites was the Apple IIgs, and when someone requested I build a portable version of it I jumped at the chance.
Ben's one-of-a-kind (no he won't build another one) Apple IIGS Laptop drips with cool geeky goodness.
