I’m not a tech geek but that’s pretty cool…

I can remember way back in the day I built a PC on a budget, bought a 486SLC motherboard for $99. Stuck it in an old 386 tower, upgraded the hard drive to a Maxtor 850MB (what will I ever do with 850MB??). So I partitioned the HD and installed Linux and tried to run Doom on that sucker, not enough memory. Fortunately my folks had a Macintosh and I could swipe the memory from the Mac and use it on my PC, then was I was done playing Doom I had to put the memory back…ah the good old days…

Yay, another port of Doom to another platform. /s

It's like we have no creativity at all and we just keep porting certain games, emulators or other already well established projects to different platforms. I get very disappointed when I search for new RPi or Arduino related projects and see nothing but the same stuff done 100 times over. Where has all the creativity gone? It's boring seeing this same stuff over and over again when we have so much capability at our disposal.
