   I am looking for a computer, that can be thrown in a backpack, and has a battery. Ideally no screen or keyboard inbuilt.

     @silverwizard how *much* of a computer?

     e.g. a microbit?

     @silverwizard powers via battery using standard connector. Or USB.

     Watching the kids do a sub-one-minute change/upload/test cycle on the hardware was mindbending

     @silverwizard depending on what you're doing, the other hackish suggestion I have is to hit up Build-a-Bear for those record-a-message modules they sell for their stuffies

     @supermathie lol - that's also a pretty good option.

     My goal is to make an ebook reader that will start playing when a CF card is inserted. And then bulk buy 128MB cards and put books on them.
