Prepare for next school year with the Macpack

Macpack Who says old Macs aren’t useful? Who says they weren’t very portable? Not I. The Macpack is old, portable, useful, and stylish. imanalchemist decided on a novel use for his old Mac.

Finally after nearly a year of working, i have finished my masterpiece; I have racked up more geek points by creating a backpack from an old macintosh SE computer c. 1988. I know everyone is saying either A.) why did you destroy a perfectly good macintosh? Or B.) Why didn’t you spend that time making floppy disk plate mail like you promised? Well to be truthful/ in my defense, The mac was dead and I tried all I could to find the necessary system software, and I didn’t want plate mail armor, however geeky, as much as I wanted this.

Man, he’s gotten more geek points than I could ever possibly dream of. Lugging that thing around, he’ll also have the back muscles of a bull soon as well. He’s made step by step instructions to go along with the project in case you want to reproduce his work for yourself.
