That's impressive. I've looked at the fit-PC2i as a solution for off-grid computing, where modest amounts of energy might be obtained from a combination of solar, wind, and human power for a tiny house. It runs at 6W normally. However, a netbook might be a better option there.

Since it has EIDE and USB, it can do data logging. GPIO will allow it to talk and monitor the outside world. Lack of floating point processor is not a big concern. I remembered floating point operations done through software on the Z80. It was slow, but it could be done. This is certainly more processor than the venerable 8 bits. Yes, it is a marvel, small, very low power consumption. I can see multiple uses for it. -- HPT

But so far, the whole country is like a concentration camp. The barbed wire on the fence around the Soviet Union is to keep people inside, in the dark. This openness that you are seeing, all these changes, are cosmetic and they have been designed to impress shortsighted, naive, sometimes stupid Western leaders. These leaders gush over Gorbachev, hoping to do business with the Soviet Union or appease it. He will say: "Yes, we can do business!" This while his military machine in Afghanistan has killed over a million people out of a population of 17 million. Can you imagine that? -- Victor Belenko, MiG-25 fighter pilot who defected in 1976 "Defense Electronics", Vol 20, No. 6, pg. 110

There's something "new". more fine advocacy from the terminally stupid asshole named "chrisv." "chrisv" is a liar. "chrisv" is a piece of shit.
