That would be something, the Ben Heckendorn Portables Workshop.

I do have to say the way you're building these 360 laptops, a few more and it might have a chance of catching up to the number of variations the VCSp had. Though that should only underscore the face that a lot of people really dig the whole idea.

If you don't need to give such an item away to a contest to get more orders in from its forthcoming publicity (according to the comment above), what is the financial gain strategy from giving it away, out of interest??

From the sound of it, THQ bought the unit.

"Benheck Portables, Inc."... Will you let us buy stock before the IPO? :wink:

I'm no expert on hot-glue, but wouldn't it melt if you tried to use it as a lampshade?
