Rockies 11/11/17 1:29:41 AM #6:	Yeah yeah yeah, I know people use them for emulators. Considering I don't use emulators now, I don't see why I'd use them on a Pi. JunkoEnoshima posted... did u actually buy a raspberry pi or did you buy one of those premade kits that come with a screen and stuff I've seen kits but I don't know of the kind you're talking about.

Rockies 11/11/17 1:32:36 AM #7:	I ask about the screen because I thought maybe it would be cool to make a Pi laptop, but I would have no idea how to get a laptop-style screen/mouse/keyboard to interface with the HDMI/USB ports. But if they had some kind of laptop or tablet-esque screens available it would be a start <cite>Rockies posted [p:890168952] in I'm postin...

I do have some project ideas already, but I just wanted to hear if anybody had interesting suggestions. And I figured if I bought it, I'd actually be more inclined to commit to a project. If nothing else, it's still usable as a computer out of the box and it will give me more motivation to learn Linux. <cite>Rockies posted [p:890191680] in I'm postin...
