[chbot] PineBook

[Andrew Errington]

At this month's meeting (it being December already) I plan to bring the
fabled $100 laptop which was recently delivered:

You can read a decent review here, together with a description of the
byzantine ordering process:

Yes, I did all that, and the US$100 laptop turns into a NZ$200 laptop when
you add shipping and currency conversion. However, it's still pretty
remarkable for the price.

It's not ugly, and it seems to work. I haven't really used it for anything,
it's currently just a curiosity.

It will be too difficult to have everyone play with it on the night, but I
am happy to install various things on it (if they are present in the
package manager) and either show them (yes it has HDMI out), or at least
report what I found when I tried it.

Best wishes,

Andrew
