Lia This is the first time I've heard of this device.

Is it worth it because it seems kind of cool?


It's worth it and a lot of fun to play around with. I just don't have as much time to do so anymore.. And you can't beat the price either.

Miss I have not taken 'plunge' into trying these out, unfortunately I'm not a computer science pro but maybe soon! Just gotta take some course in college. Might get one of these if it's worth it.


You can use these without any knowledge, dozens of brilliant tutorials. But that's the point - you're not meant to use them, you're meant to innovate with them.
