Well aware of the rounding error issue, I would rather over size rather than
under size or just enough, with little to no room for expansion..
It might be 10 Pi's now, it could be 20-30 in the end or more.. who knows...
You can read the other post, I don't 10-20-30+ wall warts for Pi's.. I am
trying to erradicate them throughout my house.
