Re: Raspberry Pi - a revolution?
I might pick one or two up to use as light switches.
(Incidentally they are actually cheaper than a basic light switch off Amazon)

Re: Raspberry Pi - a revolution?
I'd buy one and get my mum to solder the GPIO connector as she has in her last job she passed her MIL-Spec soldering course with 100%

Re: Raspberry Pi - a revolution?
Yes, and now the best selling UK computer ever:
Quote:
The Raspberry Pi has become the most popular British computer yet made.
The title was formerly held by the Amstrad PCW which is believed to have sold a total of eight million units.
Sales of the Raspberry Pi will surpass that figure this month, said the Raspberry Pi project founder Eben Upton.
The milestone comes as the Raspberry Pi 3 is unveiled featuring a faster 64-bit processor and built-in wi-fi and Bluetooth connections.
"We're calling it," said Mr Upton. "We're the best-selling UK computer ever."
He said the Pi Foundation initially thought it had won the title last year when sales blew past the total set by Sinclair machines in the 1980s.
However, he said, it then emerged that the Amstrad machine had sold in larger numbers.

I like to have my Pi multi-purpose but while I'm not using it for a specific purpose It is my media player plugged into the TV and these things work best with a little more RAM though the increased CPU speed will help massively and the built in wireless will be great.

I want the Zero, but hens teeth are easier to find, plus the rocking horse poo is being delivered Friday
