Re: [ukha_d] Raspberry Pi - £15 computer



Yes, I've noticed that too... bit of change from Computer Studies,
where the
real geeks (me included) where programming a ZX81 speech synth, in Z80
machine code, by typing in hex strings (the assembler was too slow), ah
these kids don't know their born, etc, etc...

On the R-Pi front, it'll be interesting to find out the I/O capabilities
(mostly ethernet?) as it'll make a cracking replacement for Arduino type
projects and be much more powerful...
