I might just do that. Then again, why don't I just go out and buy a great
big computer with all the bell and whistles?  Oh yes, I've already got
one (or two, or three).  The remarkable thing about the RPi zero W is
that it is small and inexpensive. The kit was $50Can. I really don't want
to spend the same amount just to get the darn thing started.

Oops, did I just say 'darn'. Please excuse the vulgar language.
