Interesting... competition to the Raspberry PI by the looks of things.

Only one observation - the description is a bit misleading using 'mini computer'.

In IT tech, microcomputers (like your home PC) are bottom of the performance ladder, followed by the 'mini computer', then the 'mainframe'. At least that's what I was taught at Uni.

It's certainly 'mini' but in a different context

Ah, the days when the BUNCH (Burroughs, Unisys, NCR, CDC, and Honeywell) occuped the big iron market, well besides whats their name (and clones... Fuji, National, Amdhal).

Minis like Prime, DEC/Digital, ICL, Data General, HP IBM S/x & AS* etc came and went, minis disappeared and *UX mid-range was going to take over the world.

I can't buy the hardware wholesale anywhere near the price , many uses about the home and shack so might as well share
