This raging minimalism trend may lead right back to the BS1. Ken, it's time to sell the Project board for $14.99 again.

    Oh no, the clones are coming!

    It's not clear to me what the BASIC STAMP has to do with Raspberry and or Orange Pis

    They are so different in form and intended function. It's like comparing a 555 timer to a Z80!

    Impressive - I see they also have a WiFi and SATA variant, for more like RaspPi prices.

    Those SBC Linux computers got cheaper much faster than I expected.

    Much as someone just posted on Facebook: "I thought growing old would take longer."

    Well, that Orange Pi Plus sure looks far more interesting the the Pi 2 I've got.

    I'll have to keep an eye on it for now and if the community/feedback seems good, sell the Raspberry and start using these.

    The SATA 2 alone means I can toss a cheap 64GB SSD on there for $30 and have those 4x 1.6Ghz Cores fly.

    But its Allwinner, and pays to be skeptical at this point.
