Macintosh 128k

The Original MacintoshSo I've been reading a lot about the original Macintosh - the Mac 128k. For its time, it was a wonderful machine, and the epitome of good design (again, for the time). We're talking about a computer that was designed so well that people actually wanted to have one in their home.

Of course, we're talking 1983-84. Now most people would be appalled and ashamed at the notion of having one in their home. To counter this notion, I've decided to turn it into a stuffed object. Made from fleece, it'll be warm and cuddly. Who wouldn't want one?

I went out and got the fabric yesterday, and I made my patterns while I was at work today. Also, I made a prototype out of paper. I'm pleased.
