    http://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-2-model-b/[^] More than decent specs, given the price-tag. Will support Windows 10 which might be of some interest to some. Should just point out - I'm not affiliated to Raspberry, though I do like pie :)

    KeithBarrow.net[^] - It might not be very good, but at least it is free!

        I think that would be enough for the computing power even for video streaming. For an embedded system, it is still lacking in built-in wireless interface like Wifi/Blueooth/BLE/Zigbee/NFC/ZWave. A dongle could fix the problem but it will use a USB port.

          Windows 10, that would be interesting. As a side node I'm partial to Key Lime Pi!

          New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0 My goal in life is to have a psychiatric disorder named after me. I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

              Windows 10 "Internet of Things" version. :rolleyes: Baring evidence to the contrary; I'm going to assume no desktop equivalent or even metro replacement (eg the phone version); instead you'll get a revived version of the .net Micro Framework.

              Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                Yeah that's what I was thinking. I haven't checked out the micro framework in a few years so I'll ass-u-me that it has come a long way since last I used.

                      ...and that's probably what you're doing. MS open sourced the micro framework back when open sourcing was a way to dump projects they didn't care about; not the new way of doing business. :sigh: I doubt they've done much if anything with it in the last few years.

                          I went there 2008, best breakfast in my life. I might be a bit partial though, It was the first breakfast with my wife, with her being my wife.

                            Did you go to sunset pier? They have a ritual every night all the freaks, artists, musicians, etc. come out at sunset to this little pier and perform/hangout. I don't know it they do it anymore but it was an experience.

                              Not at night, we were a bit to jetlagged for that to be honest. And the next time the kids will be with us. But then we'll plan it differently so that Key west is among the last stops instead of the first. They've seen the pictures and want to go "where the palm trees are".
