It's never lost, just temporarily misplaced.

I did find two of my RPis last night ... right where I suspected they 
were.

A Raspberry Pi computer is a small, credit-card sized computer that uses 
It was originally designed to allow children in Africa to have a 
computer cheaply.  Pis run Linux, specifically Raspberian, a custom spin 
of Debian Linux.  Other Linux distros run on them, of course, and I have 
Devuan Linux set up to run off of a SD card.  My newest one, a RPi 3 B+, 
is going to become my shack computer.

The RPi was the pioneer in this class of computer and there's a lot of 
knockoffs but the RPi is still the class leader.

More info at https://www.raspberrypi.org/.

What I like is that for my needs, they are small, extremely low-power 
consumption, and have enough oomph for me to do what I need.  They do 
have their drawbacks, of course, but like most things, the drawbacks are 
more annoyances than deal-breakers for me.

Later,
Sean
