I'm thinking of buying one of these:

http://www.gumstix.com/store/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=27&products_id=178

For $169 (£85)... it's the size of a stick of gum, it runs at 600MHz, has 128Megs of RAM and 32meg of Flash... now that is worth it for an embedded device ;-)

Get a lower power rated ARM/XScale SOC type thingy and power it from the fuel cell. How about that?


Hmmm... that would be fun...

Hey bloodline,

I know this is off-topic but thanks for the link on gumstix. Now that's something to read about.

Hey no problem, you never know you might even see AROS booting on it one day!!



Just found my first post on A.org after the great reboot of 2002:
