I got one a couple of months ago, and have since gathered up a nice HDMI cable, a 60" flat screen, my mini USB 2 Amp power supply, a USB keyboard and mouse . I have a nice new Micro SD card with the suggested L-based n00b distro and a supposedly recognizable USB Wifi 'undongled' card . Also picked up a USB soundcard dongle . . . . . . for which Raspian (?) . . . is also supposed to have the correct drivers . Either way, I can always uncoil my 200' CAT5e cable again! Let's see how much smoke I can get outta it . . . . . like our microwave did this afternoon! Nothing like the smell of electrum in the afternoon . I'm having 'way too much fun here .	SurferJoe46 (51)

Then there's the copious amounts of refined white sugar it takes . I tried to circumvent that sugar-thing by using honey (double-yuck!!!) and brown sugar (a serious yuck here!) and automobile antifreeze (works great! and probably less malevolent in the sweeteners department!) Let's see if I can work up another CARE package to you in Upsidedown Land . Last time I had to put a package on the outside of the box so it would not be considered as something I was trying to illegally send to youse . Youse customs guys could peel off that outer package as a sample that way . Did the outer sample package get to you or had it been 'collected as evidence" by youse customs inspectors? Come on UP! (as: to the northern hemisphere) and visit any time you want . I can get a translator to help me understand your version of The King's English . We also have a very nice* spare bedroom . *give my wife a 48-hour heads up when you come so we can move the goat out first . To other vistas: I just picked up a nice pair of Pioneer 4' high speaker columns . Before I get hauled over the coals for using antique gear - I love the response of super deep columns made out of MDF . MDF is the best sound enclosure material that they (accidentally) made . It adds nothing to the sound (transients and such) and takes very little away (attenuation) . They have two 15" woofies and a single mid range 10"er with a nice 4" dome piezo tweet in each one of them . 500Watt capacity each . With 2K Watts for one of my big bass guitar amps and some 4-10s and a pair of 1-15s, we can rock your socks off . Oops! Do Kiwis wear socks! Pardon my social gaffe . . . . . . if I made one . I'm going over to the technical side now --- BBS	SurferJoe46 (51)
