[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 806362, member: 325666"] Hi Remlap...the beauty of the pi is it versatility for use in other applications .. Not just media playing .. Its I/O ports being of particular interest .. 20 plus years ago I wrote my first version of a bandscanner/spectrum analyser using the 8 bit port of a comodore 64 to control dedicated Ato D and Dto A hardware designed by me .. And although slow ...amd barely useable ...it functioned.. I went on to make a PC version using the same controlled hardware but with a bi directional printer port ..again 8 bit.. If such a board as the PI had existed back then .. ..imagine what could have been acheived on a purely amateur level. So you see ..its the versatility of this little board that impresses...but anyone could make use of it ..and programmers moreso.. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
