Computerworld.com has a feature on Ben Heckendorn, who last year created a laptop Apple IIGS. Though that particular machine is not the focus of the article, it does look at Heckendorn’s background, design philosophy, and the variety of machines he’s modified, from Atari 2600 to Xbox 360.

The full transcript of the Heckendorn interview featured in the above article was the cover story for the December 2008 issue of Juiced.GS.
