Go for it! More guest speakers for the TPUG meetings, the better (less work
for me ;-)
Plenty of parallels with the C64 as have been discussed. With a video out port
you could even connect one to a 1702. People on Lemon are already talking
about running VICE on it, then using a Keyrah etc. to embed it into a C64 case.
I think it would be a riot to install Commodore USA's "Vision OS" Linux
on one (would need porting to ARM, mind you) and hook it up to a 1702. :-P

I was at the Seneca College open source conference in the
fall and saw it there. I'm going to go for it as well in a few months.
Definitely a neat little board. Surprisingly the folks from Broadcom were
involved in it!
I *THINK* these are the guys working on the
OS:

.."inspiring “a whole new Commodore 64
generation.”"..."there are going to be people who use them for
programming, as a gaming machine, as a media planner, as a utility
machine.”"..."but is designed to be plugged into a TV."..."And people
already have a high value expensive piece of electronic equipment, a
television, in their homes they can use for display.”"..."The Model A,
which has also been reworked to include 256 megabytes of RAM, “will go
into production immediately.”"
It's Deja-Vu!!
LOL...
..'might be worth holding off too until they setup the
upgrades they mentioned...

[torontocbm] Raspberry Pi Computer
I was about to email the group
with a link to the new Raspberry Pi
single-board computer.
At
a mere $35 with plenty of power, it's ideal for hobbyists, and
the
parallels with the Commodore 64 are obvious. However,
someone at the
Toronto Star has made the same observation:

Pretty
cool, didn't know the OS was developed here in Toronto at Seneca
College.
Here are the project links. Any
thoughts? I'll probably buy one
once the furor dies
down.
