So... Anyone have one? For those who do not know what the Raspberry PI is, its a little computer the size of a credit card, designed by a charity to get children into programming, but it has many more uses.

It's memory system is SD cards, 2GB minimal, 4GB recommended. The OS that it is designed to run on is Debian Linux, which is installed on the SD card by the user, but there are more options for different uses.

There are 2 Models, model A which costs 25 USD and model B at 35 USD. Model B has 512MB of RAM (Model A has 256MB), Model B has 2 USB ports (Model A has one) and Model B has Ethernet (Which Model A lacks), however Model B uses way more power. Both have a processor speed of 700MHz (Can easily overclock to 800MHz.)

Currently, many projects are being created, including Minecraft: PI edition (Cut down version of Pocket Edition) which is planned to be free.

There are different suppliers, most are UK-Based but some are US.

All I know is my Comp Sci friend has one and he's trying to do stuff with it.

Halo 3 is where the morons of the universe congregates.

I am thinking of an old story. "Three Billy Goats Gruff" (hint the troll dies at the end)

If you had an electron microscope, you still couldn't find the -blam!- I don't give.

At first I can in here to list the first 100 digits of Pi, then I read your post and got a little confused.

Could you post a pic of it so I can get an idea of the size

They're fikkin awesome, cause you can basically integrate computers into things. Apparently you can make a wicked arcade machine with one.
