This... looks amazing. I totally want one of these for myself, and it looks like an absolutely amazing educational experience for younger folks. Love that quote about how &quot;the days of DIY computing are back&quot;.<p>But... we have to stay vigilant, as too much computing these days involves closed systems, proprietary firmware and driver binary blobs, DRM&#x27;d crap, etc. Remember the &quot;war on general purpose computing&quot;.[1]<p>[1]: <a href="http://boingboing.net/2012/08/23/civilwar.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;boingboing.net&#x2F;2012&#x2F;08&#x2F;23&#x2F;civilwar.html</a>
