[ale] $25 Micro LInux Computer - the size of a USB key

[Jim Kinney]

I'm pretty surm the arm requires higher voltage than a single 1.5V AA. A
700MHz will only pull a fraction of an amp (think around 150-300 mA) so a
pair of AA's might run it for a while.
Can't wait for LadyAda to pack one into a mintyboost can :-)

power.
Aaron, don't give up the arduino yet. The combo of the 2 is friking awesome.

Laptop in an altoids tin.... hmm.....
