Got a Raspberry PI 3

Bought the kit with pretty much everything other that mouse/keyboard. What a fun little computer in a small box. There is even a Ubuntu Mate image for it. Using it as an OSMC/Kodi media player for no...

I have always thought about buying one with an SD Card Slot and a small microSD card... They make excellent webservers for a basic website!

Or gutting an old hand held gaming system like a gameboy and loading every emulator you can find on it for the ultimate mobile gaming experience!

      Me thinks you speak of RetroPie: http://www.emulationstation.org/gettingstarted.html

      I bet that would be a blast.  I've never owned a hand held gaming system, but I used to run a couple of emulators on my old desktop and play NES/SNES games, which was very fun.

        That whole RetroPI thing was another project I was wanting to do.  Would make excellent gifts for people for Christmas that don't have technical knowledge, couldn't get a Classic NES last christmas, and that LOVE "retro" gaming.
