Raspberry Pi

[Othko97]

Has anybody got one? I'm considering buying one to get Mathematica for £30 rather that £100, and I also think it would be a pretty cool thing to have

I do not have one. What exactly is one?

[Othko97]

It's a credit card sized computer! I should probably add a link really

[Cuddly Khan]

Sounds alright. Can it do much?

[comrade_general]

Didn't DD get one of these?

[Othko97]

I think he may have.

@Khan It can do most stuff, it's just not too good at really intensive stuff like games.

I was thinking about getting one of these a while back when they were realeased. Isn't it designed to get more kids in to programming or something? Its been a while since I've looked in to it but they are pretty cool

[Jubal]

Bet it can still run text adventures fine

[Tom]

If I ever finish mine :/ alas revision must go on

[Othko97]

I'm pretty sure that it can handle games from at least the ZX and I think someone changed one into a Quake 3 machine, so there's hope there . It's probably worth buying one just to get Mathematica for £30 effectively.

I have one!

Its pretty nifty haven't really done much with it yet though
Am planning to teach myself some programming with it and just general computer know how
I am planning to make a pipboy with it

[Pentagathus]

Learning computer bollocks would be useful, although tedious. How much do these fancy mini computer things cost?

[Othko97]

Like £30.

[Gen_Glory]

I got mine for about £40 but it came with the OS already on an SD card, it also came with a case and all necessary cables

also picked up the dummies guide to raspberry pi for like £15

The pip boy idea sounds like it could turn out incredible, good luck with it
