  I've done that, and come back more times then I care to admit. :)  I had
the BBS running on a pi and it worked great.  I just ran into a couple of
bugs that I couldn't get past in the BBS software I was using.

  Will probably go back to it at some point, but for now the power sucking
monster tower is running 24/7 for the sole purpose of running a windows XP
virtual machine with the BBS. 

  I have a bad windows 10 install on it, that I just can't get fixed, so one
day soon I'll have to re-install something on the host OS for that computer,
keep debating between a linux distro and windows again.  Though wish someone
made a x86 based board like the pi. ;)
