[nmglug] One more free Raspberry Pi 3

[Ted Pomeroy]

Well, I cancelled the order. The GPIO is the real heart of the potential of
the Pi and with my skill level and inquisitiveness decreasing I thought the
device would be better in someone else's hands. Great potential for
experimentation and exploration, but a bit beyond me. The HAT system and
all would be great if I had desires to tinker and expand the form of a
computer or explore, but my eyes and fingers are slowing down too much.
The PiShop was very helpful, so do try one of these if you have the
interest. Thank you , Ted P.
