[Wear-Hard] Newest VIA systemboard standard, Pico-ITX

[DLP]

Close, there's these 3.5" boards. They've been around forever with all sorts
of processors, ever since at least Socket 370 days. Here's some links:

These boards are about 145x102mm where as the Pico is 100x72mm.

I'm excited about the Pico. Now the size of VIA's boards are getting so
small the connectors are becoming an obstacle for reducing size. Eventually,
if they can squeeze any more space out, we'll just see pins and cables...
I really don't care about the price as they keep it around 300. Some
embedded boards cost well over 500USD.
