The pictures below show more variations on 1802 based micros, and prove that the 1802 did indeed have a life beyond the perf-boards and toggle switches from the pages of Popular Electronics.
George Musser and his father built the wild-looking ELF II seen at right and below. On top of the ELF II are the Netronics Giant Board, two 16K RAM boards, and an EPROM programmer. Below are the ACE expansion bus and video card. George writes that the last time he really used it he was in high school, developing a word processor to write papers for class.

Apparently Scientific American magazine, where George now works as the Astronomy Editor, has somewhat more modern word processing equipment. But is it more fun?

Pictured below is Steve Gemeny's Quest Super ELF. Steve started off with an original ELF in 1976, then upgraded to the Super ELF in February of 1979. Eventually he added the expansion board, 4K of RAM, the Super Monitor, and Tiny Basic. More than twenty years later, he writes that he still enjoys tinkering with it, and is working on a replacement for his original ELF.
Steve Gemeny's Super ELF still runs.
