 Bu> sort of FireTV, or an Emulator. What other good uses does it have? My

It's a complete computer -- just add kbd, mouse and monitor -- roughly
equivalent in firepower to a desktop ca. 2005. So it can be used for pretty
much anything (well, maybe not high-end gaming :-) ).

Though they are often used for rather utilitarian purposes -- various sorts
of servers, for example, home automation, entertainment servers, the sorts of
set-and-forget stuff that requires little user intervention and can be run
headless. Being tiny and consuming very little power, you can stick them in a
corner or the back of a wiring closet and walk away.

They're also frequently used in nerdy-geeky DIY projects like robots,
retro-gaming (e.g., recreating video arcade consoles and GameBoys),
build-you-own laptops and cellphones, even remote-controlled coffee makers.

Google "Raspberry Pi" projects. You'll find a number of sites with dozens to
hundreds of Pi proejcts you can try.
