Theme: computers going modular.
While operating circuits (CPU, memory, graphics) tend to be more and more integrated, they are getting now into a small box, while all other components becoming more and more often detached. We will review:

While operating circuits (CPU, memory, graphics) tend to be more and more integrated, they are getting now into a small box, while all other components becoming more and more often detached. We will review:
- SOC (systems-on-chip), which are now transiting from Android to Linux (Raspbery Pi, MK802 family and Cubox); We shall demonstrate a Linux server smaller than one crown coin.
- IR versus BT portable keyboards;
- Removable storage (external hard drives, SD cards and flash memory);
- Specialized network devices (NAS, printservers) are now more often a part of the router;
- Smartphone as desktop: connecting smartphones with monitors, keyboards, mice, LAN and hard disks.
Other topics raised by members:
- We will also start in earnest discussing SIP setups, something we did not get to taking up on the October meeting.
- Key bindings. What is worth to remember (Ctrl-Z, Alt-Tab, F5 and Ctrl-Alt-Del?).
- Help! Experts in computer visualization of functions and manifolds are badly needed. We did not plan it to be the subject of the club, but if anyone is an expert, can they please stand up?
- Takis may tell how to make visualizations with maple and xfig.
