I'm fortunate in that my other half works for one of the main resellers of Pi gear. So getting hold of bits is fairly easy. I'm always finding uses for them. The tiny computer I posted links to, is just one of the projects I've built. They're a lot of fun! On 13 May 2016 2:20 p.m., "Howard Pepper

The website says: "pre-order for June 2016". How did you get it? Are you an early adaptor/developer? Is it a RasPi clone ? What OS does it run ? Some form of Linux, I suppose? Greetings from the TyRannoSaurus Jan-80 " @ work( @ @ ) --.ooo--(_)--ooo.--- --
