I'm going to sleep soon. This is the first all-nighter I've pulled in a LONG time. My son took an interest in a Raspberry Pi computer kit that I've had stored away ever since getting it for Christmas 2 or 3 years ago. If you aren't familiar with the Pi, it's a bare bones system that actually works. Here's a link to a kit that includes a Pi and most of the accessories you're likely to need, selling for $74.99:

Mine is a couple of years old and isn't as good as this.
`
So, my son and I tinkered around with it, hooked it up to our TV, installed a better operating system, installed an Apple II emulator (do you remember the Apple II?? It was a $2,500 computer!), and finally installed Apple Panic, a game for the Apple that I used to play when I was a kid. It took a while and we had a few setbacks, but it now works quite well. Lots of fun! Hey, not bad for under 75 bucks, eh?
`
I'll have to see tomorrow if we can get the CP/M operating system to run on it.

Gold is $1,581/oz today. When it hits $2,000, it will be up 26.5%. Let's see how long that takes. - De 3/11/2013 - ANSWER: 7 Years, 5 Months
