Hi guys,<br>
<br>
I couldn't resist posting this link to a 3.5" lcd display for $17 that
you could use with a raspberry pi. I don't know anything about it, but
it looks cool. I have a little anniversary money to spend. May have
to buy a pi before the night's over. Maybe Alex could use a pi and
this screen instead of an android tablet. Of course, the price goes up
as you add wifi, power supply, case, memory, etc.<br>

don't buy the the one that I got. Has some sort of MIPS cpu with<br>
no FPU slow and painful to work with. I would aim at generic ARM from<br>
now on. Prices vary from $50 to $100 for no brand tablets. Post<br>
details about this project.<br>
