Okay I think I have narrowed the list of projects I can fund with the

money from selling my video games:

1. Investigate how people have integrated GPS with Raspberry Pis in the

past.

2. Investigate pulling the guts out of a portable rugged computer and

replacing the computing with a Single Board Computer

3. Buy a turntable

4. Buy an analogue camcorder

5. Buy the Panasonic RXD50 tape deck

I am watching the Rinoa Super-Genius YouTube channel, and I am

fascinated by the way they repair film cameras and film projectors. I

would LOVE to own a film projector and watch films.

Rinoa had a Panasonic ToughBook, and it seemed like a wonderful solution

for my problem of how to replace my phone. Really, I just need a device

to monitor, predict, and plan public transport journeys. Surely someone

has developed or hacked together a device which does this.
