Summary: This month on Open Apple, we sit down with Ben Heck, one of our most-requested interviews. We talk about his Apple I replica, his Apple IIgs laptop, and Adam Sandler for some reason. Meanwhile, Mike and Quinn talk about Apple Porsches, Pinball Construction Set, and Western Design Center. In the comedy department, we get back to our roots (making fun of Wizardry).<br> There’s potato chips, there’s troll pits, there’s 3D printing, and all kinds of other wandering off topic this month, so be sure to stay tuned for none of that.<br> We’re looking forward to a great new year with the Apple II, so join us as we kick off what is sure to be an awesome 2015!<br> Wews!<br> More information on everything discussed in this episode after the jump.<br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYThh2rKIfw" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Porsche Apple</a> – Replica of the 935K3 LeMans Porsche in Apple livery.<br> <a href="http://a2central.com" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">A2Central</a> – The number one Apple II news site.
