Getting an Orange Pi Zero...
Jan 1st, 2017, 10:08pm
 
Actually two - one 256MB ($6.99) version and on e 512MB ($8.99) version. Got a small refund from medicare, I have to pay for certain meds out of pocket directly, because they wont pay for them but they would reimburse 85% of the cost to me. Go figure, they wont pay for the meds but would pay me back most of it for getting them.
 
From this bit of cash, I'm getting the two O-Pi Zeros and 1 expansion board to try out the video on them. Total cost for all three is something like $25.50 from AliExpress (in China).
 
My only concern is where in China is it coming from. If from the mainland, then OK, they claim I will get it in 10 days, and buying from mainland China through ebay, its about a 2 week wait. But if it is from Hong Kong or Taiwan, that can be a 3 to 6 month wait as it sits on some custom agent's desk to be looked at.
 
But when I get it, I'll post up what they are like and see how it goes. Who knows. I may have plans for them.

Cool, can't wait for your report

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out
