DIY Laptop

Posted by Hemos on from the from-the-ground-up dept.

Brietech writes "Ever felt like building your own laptop from (almost literally) scratch? This is a microcontroller-based "laptop" built from the ground up from a handful of chips and other hardware found lying around. It runs a self-hosted development environment, allowing the user to write and edit programs in "Chris++" on the machine, and then compile and run them. The carpentry looks like it could use some work, but it's a neat project!"

    No kidding, did you read that? He was driving after suffering some kind of psychotic episode. He even had tunnel vision! Slashdoters, do not drive when you feel different from normal, even if God is talking to you or you think you are being divinely led.
