I am going to get one of these, I think it is a useful tool. $33.50CDN $9.90 shipping.
They are OOS at the moment but I am on the waitlist.
First computer 1959. Retired from my own computer company 2004.
Hardware - Expert in 1401, and 360, fairly knowledge in PC plus numerous MPU's and MCU's
Major Languages - Machine language, 360 Macro Assembler, Intel Assembler, PL/I and PL1, Pascal, Basic, C plus numerous job control and scripting languages.
My personal scorecard is now 1 PC hardware fix (circa 1982), 1 open source fix (at age 82), and 2 zero day bugs in a major OS.

I'm drooling.
This looks very nice. I'm a little worried about the USB orientation but that's a dice roll.
Looking forward to your review after you get it.

What do you mean about USB orientation?

@tfmccarthy This is the board, what would you like to tell SeeedStudio re their USB-C orientation?

@tfmccarthy So in Baltimore they swap horizontal and vertical, which means when you are standing up you are horizontal? In Canada we are vertical. That is a USB-C connector in 'normal orientation.
The board is a XIAO mini, see last pic, here is a LINK. It's a repackaged Raspberry Pi 2040 PICO. If you want one you have to go on a Tindie waitlist.

If I bite my tongue any harder, I'll draw blood. Needless to say, this is a straight line that I'll pass on. And while it may look like I'm smiling, I'm actually crying on the inside. (Or in Canada, where they cry on the outside when they smile on the inside.)

@tfmccarthy We smile on the inside because we have REAL maple syrup, not that 'high fructose corn syrup' you guys have. That makes us so sad but only on the outside. Did you know we supply over 70% of the global supply?

When and if you get one, could you post a first thoughts for it. I am thinking it would be very useful tool in determining power requirements for some of my projects. I currently just use my bench power but I only have one and think this would be nice as a second option.
