<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">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.<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Nov 6, 2020 at 7:06 PM Ted Pomeroy <<a href="mailto:ted.pome@gmail.com">ted.pome@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">NMGLugers, I have ordered a Pi400. Shipping date sometime later this month. It may be what I am looking for to use a good spare monitor, maybe not. I viewed a couple of the youtube videos and will have to see what I think when it is in hand. Whether I use the add-on port or not will be a test of my interest in experimentation. It may make me more involved in testing, but I am not sure.
