« on: November 27, 2019, 10:24:10 PM »
most of yall know i was off the air for several years after our computer melted, i got to log on at library a few times but thats a 30 mile drive round trip, and they only let you on for an hour  then your put in back of line so my step son hooked us up with a new Rasberry pi computer its about 1 1/2" tall x 4" x 3" runs on motorcycle 12v battery, with trickle charger 110v. has Linux operating system. less than $100 for the 1 1/2" tower, useing old flat screen tv for monitor. wireless mouse & wireless keyboard . But i still type with 2 fingers, i tryed useing more but they get in the way of seeing were the letters on the buttons are. i think its acts more like a old mac than microsoft. i need to get him back to show me about pic loading to it from phone & camera, but hes bussy driving a straight box delivery truck for amazon.there running mandatory overrtime now.
i been having trouble with my phone so i been of here for a while but now im learning this new to me Linux system
