Hey,
I was at an IT expo and our local Univeristy had a very interesting display. It had a monitor pluged into a small circuit board (about the size of a cellphone) that had a power and keyboard input, and using the key boared you could play pong completely free of a computer.

Now, I know doing somthing like that would be adanced, but I was wondering if anyone had advice on how to get started? Even if someone could tell me what it's actually called, so I don't sound like a n00b. :D

Thanks,
Justin
