<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><BR>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in">2. For many years I have wanted a belt-pack flash-drive video recorder so I can plug my flaky old mini-DV video cameras into a tapeless recorder.
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><BR>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in">3. Smart phone tech is bringing us a computing reinvention without Windows, without Apple, without Intel or AMD. It runs Linux, it's thumb-drive or credit card sized, it's cheap, and it's here. Google A10, A31, Raspberry Pi.
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><BR>
