small is cute :). After reading and finding a few single board computers, I
am beginning to like them more and more. The Aim 65 and Kim 1 are obvious

made a computer back in the 1980s. Of course, it looks
just like a hi-fi amplifier and the keyboard plugs into
the front panel. It would hide nicely in between your
