Hi, y'all!
Last night, I went to a buddy's place to check out an IPA he was raving about. I took along my RasPi because he said he had a power supply with the proper size connector and because I was tired of waiting for a back-ordered 5 volt 1 ampere power supply to arrive. Initially, I delayed an attempt at booting because, according to what I was seeing on the I'net, trying to use a small capacity power unit would only lead to failure. Well, to cut a long narrative short, his cell phone charger was good enough to boot the RasPi. Even good enough to let me send a test email. The manufacturer of the charger is LG. The name of the unit is Travel Adapter. The model number is STA-U12WD. I left the RasPi at his place so he can play with it while I wait for my back-ordered power unit to arrive. And, while I contemplate how to cope with owning only VGA monitors.
