    Hi Paul did you buy at PI i brought a Andoid Smart TV now i have wireless internet on my TV and all youtube and all sorts of stuff geat toy to
    to play with.

    Hi David,

    Yes, Santa was happy with my efforts in 2014 and I found a Pi under the tree!

    I have not done too much with it yet as I have been playing with Usenet Gateways as of late for the BBS. So far I've got it in a plastic case and installed the NOOBS operating system onto the SD card that provides the HDD space for the little computer.

    I fired it up and got it talkng to the internet using it's web browser to
    load a google search page and also the bbs.geek.nz page. Even managed to
    login to the BBS via the webpage.

    So in sum, it's up and running but have just not spent the time playing on it as I have been happily playing with the Usenet Gateway software for Agency
    BBS.

    Tell me more about your Andriod telly, sounds like fun.

    Now that sounds interesting. I think I may set up a PI echoarea and see if we can't get a few more across Fidonet interested in these devices :-)
