Controller for Klipper or other Pi like projects.

$33.99 but I see the 20% coupon right now for the discount you mention. And unlike a Raspberry Pi, it can take 24V power. That looks like a nice Klipper board for not a lot of money, thanks for sharing!

I remember when 1GB would be a lot of memory!

Memory!?!
I remember when 1GB was an impossible to dream of amount of storage, and saving keyed in programs from 4KB RAM computers onto cassette tapes and dreaming of having a 180KB floppy drive and notching the sides of floppy disks to use both sides on the computers at school…
Somewhere I have a copy of:
which I pulled out of a computer magazine I bought from Walden Books or some similar place…
Really need to get it framed.

Yes, I also remember when 1GB was an unimaginable amount of storage let alone memory, when my 1200bps modem was fast, when my NEC V20 processor was too fast for games written for the 8088, when I learned that 6502 machine code had no multiply or divide instructions, notching floppies… 
But I had in mind the original Raspberry Pi with 256MB or 512MB of RAM.

From where I’m sitting now, I can see a copy of Don Inman’s Apple Machine Language:

I remember soldering 256K chips piggy back to the 256K chips in my RS color computer one to bring it up to 512K. I think I paid close to $100 for the memory!

Thanks, I feel ancient… My first home built computer had 1024 bytes along with a bank of switches… it’s all I could afford. 
Worked hard on it, knew every part, Honeywell even got an assembler working for us… Now I hardly remember anything about it, except the memory cost me and arm and a leg…
