[18:18:22] <tkoskine> Tsvetan: Regarding today's quiz and only one correct answer, it is interesting how people retweet the actual quiz question and not the quiz announcement (which would give automatic participation to the "lottery").
[18:21:07] <Tsvetan> I'm amazed that we got just one close to the correct answer
[20:34:33] <WarheadsSE> Tsvetan: I found my A20
[20:56:12] <daze> what does the community think about minnowboard? :)

[21:55:59] <a13oli> Hi
[21:56:23] <a13oli> I would like to know how to setup a modem usb 3g in a Olinuxino A13
[21:56:32] <a13oli> I have a image with FTDI
[21:58:48] <a13oli> And I have the MOD-USB3G by Olimex
[22:15:22] <heretic_> daze, not sure yet, I have an original minnowboard.. the new one has to be better.
[22:15:42] <daze> do you run anything x86-specific?
[22:17:20] <heretic_> nope, it's sitting in it's box, replaced it with a LIME
[22:18:07] <heretic_> the only two things they've got going for them is having PCIe, and some people being more comfortable with x86
[22:18:33] <heretic_> I found the original to be very slow and it runs HOT!
[22:19:33] <heretic_> I'd much rather have an A20-LIME with GB ethernet :D
[22:20:41] <daze> :)
[22:20:42] <daze> I see
[22:21:21] <daze> well, the new one could very well serve as a desktop replacement for a non-demanding Win8 install
[22:22:04] <daze> I think there will be some folks trying that (giving it to grandparents, mothers and such)
[22:23:20] <heretic_> Assuming it can run Win8. I asked David Anders of CircuitCo about that. He said they have an answer prepared, but didn't elaborate.
[22:24:05] <heretic_> but yes, I can see there being a place for that sort of usage if it can do it
