 pa> Anyone else have good experience with this new RPi? I have tons of
 pa> projects and production pi’s:

So I've been using Pis for years as well. My first usage was the first Pi, connected via USB to the TV (for power), running XBMC (whatever was before libreElec) to be my media controller.

(Behind the scenes, I had a server with home videos, pics and a mythtv server, recording FTA TV).

As new Pi models came out, I sold the old model and upgraded. Then apple TV came out :(

So now my TVs have an apple TV, using Plex and the Pis (I have 3x3's and a 3+) have been repurposed.

1 (the 3+) is the BBS and Fido Hub (running in docker).
1 is a RetroPi that I setup for my son (in a cool case I got from Amazon)
1 will be a RetroPi HAT that my son will get for his birthday - got the HAT but havent had a chance to play with it yet.
1 was running RISC OS - I was playing with VideoTEX (VHOST) but sadly telnet keeps crashing after a few days - and I know nothing about RISC OS. On this Pi, I also have a SD card with HomeAutomation - which seemed to work well and I've even running hercules (the mainframe emulator).

My son is getting to the age that he'll want his own PC, so he may get the last one of these Pi's running a desktop of some sort...

(Typing this, I have just realised he'll have 3 of my Pis!)
