     That is interesting architectural design for an electronics place.

     Each of the #Frys_Electronics stores I been in had a different look to the building. I think the one in San Diego had been an Incredible Universe store before. Usually a large selection of parts for building your own computer.
     
     However, I was disappointed that I did not see !RasPi or !Arduino or other computer board products.

   @moonman #sonOne prefers reading sensors and turning motors with !Arduino to most of the common !RasPi projects, but he was thrilled when I sent a #BBB, two #BBGs (one wireless), and a micro sized !BBB.
   
   Now that my grandson #GS2 is back home, I am hoping that the two of them work together on some projects.

   #Daddy_A gets a !RasPi Zero W and an !Arduino, because he is excitedly planning projects with his other three SBC boards.
   
   #LazyNephew also gets a #Raspberry_Pi Zero W, and is starting to look up projects now.

   There’s probably a need for “ground support” as well, but I and some co-workers noticed that there does not seem to be any retailer here in #PR that sells !RasPI or !Arduino or any similar devices. If someone did the work to create Espanol curricula built around such devices and made the devices and related projects and learning materials available, I expect someone may be able to make a splash here.

     @delores You'll find a use for the !Arduino. You always do. Maybe you'll build your own auto-flusher.

     @lnxw48a1 i also replaced the board that goes on the arduino, although i had a spare from when i made the same mistake a while ago. so now i have an entire spare 3d printer control board, so thats good i suppose.

   One day, I should ask what happened to the !rpi devices and !arduino stuff I bought for #GS2. I'm sure he couldn't take those items with him when he moved in with relatives on the other side of the family, seeing that they had a house rule: no more than 30 minutes of electronic devices (including phones, televisions, video games, computers, tablets, and so on) per day.

     @lnxw48a1 this rule is absurd in 2018. More than 50% of my daily task involves electronics. Not to talk about work.

     @dragnucs Indeed it is. But when they offered to let #GS2 stay there, he knew what he was in for.

     @lnxw48a1 @dragnucs given how most people use electronics, I can understand their hardline stance. but for the sake of computer literacy in $current-year, there should be some exception to creative exploration (especially with embedded boards and such). programming and hardware hacking != TV, mobile garbage, vacuous social media, mindless games, etc. a shame.

   In case anyone is interested, here's a link to the first 27 issues of "Micro Cornucopia"
   
   MicroC was a magazine from 1981-1990 that initially covered the Ferguson Big Board, expanded to the Xerox 820, Kaypro, and other BB-like units before expanding to all things single-board.
   
   Later issues moved more into the IBM compatible market, but the magazine always retained it's hobbyist bent, publishing articles on interfacing, robotics, and programming topics. It finally folded in 1990 when the publisher, David Thompson, got burnt out on being a single-person pub shop.
   
   These issues are the black-and-white magazines, the meat of the single-board computer world in the early 80s.
   
   https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ys991vu2yy1sw9/MicroCornucopia.7z?dl=0
   
   The link will be good until the end of the year at least, and I'll leave it up until I need space. !comphist !oldcomputers !raspberrypi !rpi !arduino

     @mike You have only 275 SBCs, counting !raspberrypi, !bbb, orange pi, and others, with 125 more coming next week. The 50 !Arduino boards don't count.

    @kelbot It won't be next month, but I'm sure we'll bump into one another during one of your visits to MicroCenter in your old hometown. I'll be in the little corner where they have the !rpi and !arduino devices.

    I'm tempted to get a !rpi Zero shipped here, but that would be another thing I'll have to figure out how to get home when I leave. Decided to send a couple of !raspberrypi Zeros and an !Arduino to @mike instead.

      @me I ended up ordering a !rpi 3B+, a !raspberrypi 0W, and a plain RasPi 0. None are for me, and I still want to send a couple of !arduino boards, so another order will follow soon.

    Picked up an !arduino Ethernet shield.
    
    It was built with no-lead solder. That may be good for the environment but it's terrible for build quality. It doesn't work, I need to take it into the shop and put it under the scope.

    Just got an !arduino ethernet shield made with no-lead solder.
    
    The stuff looks and works like shit. It may be good for the environment but it's terrible for making a good looking board.
