Better nand2tetris. Please Shimon. Please Yaron.

In script ... illegal terminator '}' -- when your code doesn't even contain that character on that line. This happens when you run the HDLsimulator from the command line and give it an HDL file rather than a test script.

Why not provide an intelligent error message - ATLO perl saying ". Missing semicolon on previous line?" You get the idea..

Also, support for underscores would be nice. Duh :)

Qualcomm Snapdragon Boot Android

Can you use a bluetooth mouse/keyboard combo? Yes - something like the Logitech MK700/M705 work fine.
Do you *have* to use a true HDMI cable (no HDMI/VGA adapter allowed)? Yes (I know, shame on Q - R-Pi can do this)
