The Apple IIe

A review by Tom Thompson from the Byte magazine archives, originally published in August 1994. It begins:
"When Apple introduced its Macintosh notebook computers, the PowerBooks, in 1991, it set new standards for what such portable systems should do. The design was termed "all-in-one'' because these Macs were literally self-contained desktop systems. For example, they had a high-density floppy drive that could read and write PC disks, built-in networking hardware and software, and a slot for an optional internal modem. However, for the past few years, most of the improvements to the design have been incremental, such as faster 68030 processors, an external video port, and color displays. The all-in-one design was becoming long in the tooth."

This page at Applefritter.com describes creating a digital picture frame the vintage Apple way! Also check out the link to the Duo Digital Frame.

"After seeing projects like the Duo Digital Frame and others online, I thought I'd try my hand at it. Instead of hunting down a Duo or Powerbook 100 for a 4x6'' frame, I decided to go for an 8x10'' size (or 800x600 resolution) to display my travel photos. I have, or had, a PowerBook 3400c that had been surplussed from work due to a dead CD ROM drive, the replacement cost of which is about the same as buying another used 3400."
