Subj : Hello, Raspberry friends..

I'm just now finding PiNet on [The Underground BBS] and hoping that
this FTN is active in 2020...

I do a lot of projects with Raspberry Pi's, and have more of them [used
and unused] than I'd like to admit... in front of my significant other,
anyway. :P

Currently, I'm working on a video/television/button project that I'm
fairly excited about:
    1942 Philco Predicta TV [Fully refurbished & begging to be viewed!]
    Raspberry Pi Zero
    Capacitive Touch Button [One for now, but maybe more options/buttons
                            later.]
    HDMI>>Coaxial Converter Box
    RF Modulator Switcher 800>>300Mhz [To step down to the older UHF 
                                      two-prong connector.]
    Some Python code [User presses button, random video plays. If user
                     presses button during playback, next video plays.]

After getting it all setup, I now realize that it will be better to
boot into a system that AUTOMATICALLY begins playing a random video
playlist, and then goes to the next random video on button press. I
also play a few photos before that, and a Philco Predicta commercial
prior to random videos.

But, I need to write some code that does a PLAY RANDOMS 1st *ELSE* PLAY
NEXT ON BUTTON PRESS -- but I am super new to Python... so, I'm trying.
Lol.

Anyway, thats my long intro... and hello, PiNet... I'll continue to
check the FTN on [The Underground] and I'm hoping theres some traffic
here. I'd love to carry a Pi-related FTN.
