Hey Nancy!

 MK>> Heh, heh.  Yeah it seems to know what I want for some strange

 NB> Just not necessarily what you are trying to do... ;)

That can and does happen.

 NB> something to keep the brain engaged as you figure out how to work
 NB> things with it....

So far it seems all the same to me albiet much slower than either of the x86_64 
systems which have much faster cpu's.

 NB> Sounds like something else to try your experiments now on

I talked about GPS on the raspi with the BC Robotics guru and he claimed that 
the addon GPS chips got recalled due to issues with the GPIO serial connection. 
 After thinking about it later it got me wondering if it was the GPS addons, or 
the GPIO serial connection, or the kernel's usb/serial port emulation.  The 
kernel issue I can test out with the usb GPS dongle I happen to still have.  It 
is the same one I used for the Michael Lake experiment.  If that works it might 
make the raspi3 far more independent since it could use that as a clock source 
which is sadly lacking on there and currently relies on my network to take care 
of that issue.

Anyhow much fun to be had that is for sure.  64 bit capabilities are first 
which means losing all the bloat slackwarearm seems to think it needed.

Life is good,
Maurice
