Careful, Bill--now you have something else to be "sowwy" for!  ;-)

The //e is a great hardware and software development machine,
with fine tools and simple, GUI-free software.  The //e is easily

are lightweight and resource-thrifty.

Why do you think they added the "g" and the "s" to the gs?
Hint:  for games and educational uses.
