[VicPiMakers SG] Fwd: raspberry pi 4?

[George Bowden]

Hi Dave.  Vic Pi Makers might loan you a rpi4 if you are waiting for an
order  to arrive.  I see memory express has Raspberry Pi 400 in a keyboard
for $99  https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00114934 .  Please phone
me to discuss.

Featuring a quad-core 64-bit processor, 4GB of RAM, wireless networking,
dual-display output, and 4K video playback, as well as a 40-pin GPIO
header, Raspberry Pi 400 is a powerful, easy-to-use computer built into a
neat and portable keyboard.Raspberry Pi 400 is ideal for surfing the web,
creating and editing documents, watching videos, and learning to program
using the Raspberry Pi OS desktop environment.

Hi George,
I've been researching how to set up OpenCPN on Raspberry pi zero... and
have found that the software needs a minimum of 2GB of ram (preferably
4).  I've found that I can achieve this on a zero using a swap file, but
this will slow down the processing, and, more importantly, decrease the
life of the micro SD...

So... I am wondering if there are any Pi 4's available for the Marine
Navigation project?

Thanks!
Dave.
