Ever fancy your hand at building a C64 laptop? Here are some screenshots and ideas from someone who built a mini laptop from the parts of a C64 games joystick!
I have one of those joysticks.. I wonder if I can do the same, but I think I’ll stick with Vice, the C64 emulator for the moment. (via)

Looks more like an old Atari 2800 joystick to me. I should know. I broke enough of them. Atari support finally sent me my very own repair kit. 🙂
did you mean atari 2600/ and i owned both the c 64 and atarie 2600
You must not know too much… It’s an Atari 2600 not a 2800.
I LIKE YOUR IDEAS BUT STEVE WOZ MADE IT TOO MUCH JUCK REAL SMALL APPLE //E COMPUTER UP TO 16 MEG RAM .
I’M NOT HAPPY WITH ALL THE TYPES OF THE BLACKBERRY PLUS BLACKBERRY 7290 SO I’M LETTING STEVE WOZ EAT 2 SLICES OF BREADS WITH THE BLACKBERRY 7290 IN THE BETWEEN SANDWICH AND EAT IT THEN SOUND SO VERY CRUNCHY AND TASTY TOO .
STEVE WOZ WILL SAY HEY!, I LIKE THAT FOOD ! THAT GOOD!
That looks awesome—anything computer DIY looks awesome to me afterall! ;P I’m not capable of building any computer gadget at this point in time. I know people can learn it, but I don’t know, it’s not my inclination to build gadgets. I’d rather build crafty-things. ^_^
That c64 laptop looks like it’s only for games though. It seriously reminds me of that interactive game I had as a kid–Battleship! Anyhow, can that c-64 do basic word processing?
WOW! Commodore 64, that’s taking me way back! I do remember the Atari systems as well. I worked on one of the first portable pc’s from Panasonic, it was in a suitcase and the keyboard was the lid. We’ve come a long way and still have a longer way to go.
Oh ya. This is my fav post I found today. I know it’s old. New to me. I was tooling around on the wpmu forums, clicked donncha’s member name, found the blog and this post.
I love the net. I wrote a BBS for the C64 in Basic. Used a modem (archaic technical product used to connect one computer *over the phone lines* to another). Today I’m configuring wpmu, buddypress, bbpress for a community networking site in Grand Rapids, MI USA.
We’ve come a long way baby.
