RaspberryPi
 

Anyone have one of these?? I ordered one (the 'b' $49.99, free shipping), came yesterday afternoon, have everything but a power supply for it.

Incredible what can be done now.

Anybody?? -c-

I musta got the last one,

Purty geeky that.

Looks great - pretty amazing for the price - what are you going to do with it?

I read about it in the NYT a few months ago. I was going to order a kit, but they were out of stock.

I've been meaning to get one to make a vpn server for home. But before I do that I need to get a switch and proper wireless AP

If you don't need the extra outputs, similar usb thumb stick drives go for ~$25-$50 and can be powered from a wall-wart.

I've been meaning to get a pi to fool around with...no particular reason other than to tinker.

Fascinating little computers. I've been wanting one for a while. I'd like to rig one up in the car with a wireless adapter that would connect to my home network when I was in range and then, I could move files to and from a hard drive mounted in the car and change up my .mp3 files from my home computer.

Going by the specs could it really play HD?

Well there's HD and HD...

Havent figured out what to do w/ it. Yet. Its a fairly cheap toy for me. Geeky, yes. However, I ran bulldozers & backhoes for 40+ years before I retired, but still have my 'Epson HX-20', one of the very first laptop computers, and still have my Timex-Sinclair Z-80 computer - somewhere. I'm a hoarder! I have a '64 Porsche 356 hardtop cab. which has been parked for 30+ years, & a 1950 MB 170 D parked for over 10 years. (both garaged) I want to get the 356 back on the road but the 170 is in the way. So it goes

Should be ok in H.264 format. They actually have a good little GPU.

Do you chaps (who happen to keep a closer eye on technology than I) happen to know of a nice little data acquisition board (sound card) that could be plugged into one of these gucci little computers?

Is this correct???
 

Timex-Sinclair Z-80.............ah, yes. Those were the days. Using the TV as the screen, correct? And using a cassette tape recorder to store BASIC programs.

You'll probably need a USB sound card and then probably to do that a standalone powered USB hub
