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

Is it worth it because it seems kind of cool?


You're not interested in tech, are you?


I have never heard of it and i am interested in tech :P


It is/was very famous, so the only way you could have missed it is if you never read tech news.....

I never knew about these things until now!

This thing must be pretty cool, it's like a mini computer. I might buy one, if there in my price range.

Going off other comments, this is actually a well-known and useful thing? Never even heard of it. Looks interesting I mean other users seem to have a lot of uses for it lol.

F40 I bought one, pretty cool & very small.


you actually got one? What's the whole point in getting one?


Honestly, my dad just ordered me one randomly because he knows I'm into all tech/computer stuff. Haven't got that into it though.

I have used one in a lesson and they're great too use and very handy!

Potion Currently working on turning my RPi into a NES emulator machine will post pics of the project when it is complete.


Would love to see end results! Good luck on it.
