Kanashimi It basically an educational/hobbiests tool for programming. If you don't know how to code it's literally just a green square to you.


Yeah most of the people on TTG are just here for the lobbies.

I'm not really surprised a lot of members on ttg have no idea what a Raspberry Pi is. Most of the members on here are just talking to each other. This mine as well just be a little facebook.

Yup, it is a nice thing to use though. Very clever green square.

Not necessarily, I wasn't really into programming but I did manage to get a web server running and that's really the only thing I use it for. But it's still pretty useful.

Lia This is the first time I've heard of this device.

Is it worth it because it seems kind of cool?


You're not interested in tech, are you?


I have never heard of it and i am interested in tech :P


It is/was very famous, so the only way you could have missed it is if you never read tech news.....


Yeah the rPi was huge! I am surprised you guys hadn't heard of it, and yes it is worthy it if you are tech savvy..


First time I've heard about this but I could be mistaken and forgot about it :S

I am really expecting to see these units take off in the education sector with like High Schools and Middle schools, it seems like a very good cheap opportunity for kids to learn about computers what goes into them and actually when they are done use them and take it home with them.

daRealRush I never knew about these things until now!

This thing must be pretty cool, it's like a mini computer. I might buy one, if there in my price range.


It's basically for n00bs to learn programming! :P It should be well withing your price range as they're less than 20GBP(or around $35) for the Model A. You can buy a Model B for a little extra which has twice the RAM.
