gollark: Oh, wait, not gigabit, 100Mbps, this is an old model.
gollark: TV tuner: no, I can plug in my SDR if I need that. Parallel port: no, but it has a lot of GPIOs. Serial: yes, on the GPIO header. Floppy disk: no. DVD-RAM: no. Modem: it has gigabit Ethernet and a 150Mbps WiFi radio.
gollark: My Raspberry Pi literally metaphysically has more RAM than your """computer""".
gollark: How bad.
gollark: RAM is costly. Tiny amounts of RAM are not.
