De is more interested in having some fun time wrangling with software and time spent with his son.
That is a good reason to mess around with this electronic pile of doggy doo.

But, to each their own. You paid $75.00 dollars for the thing. You will now spend how many hours trying to make it work proplerly at How much per hour?
Just buy a chrome book cheap. Ya don't have to do anything to make it work...

I know, I'm a party pooper... I prefer to build desktops from scratch but that gets a little pricey nowadays...

I am so glad you clarified that. You didn't say, "I'm going to bed soon" as that would conjure up all kinds of thoughts to potty mouths all over the world. Thankfully, you told us all that you are going to SLEEP. How boring!

I ALWAYS worry about my CP/M's!


Thanks for the post written in Greek. omg, are you kidding me?

loveyoudecomposed! Have a good SLEEP.

--------------------------------------------
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.
