Your right! It was the good old days lol.

Interesting to note that Acorn, who built the BBC Micro I used in school as a kid went on to become ARM Holdings who's chip architecture powers the Raspberry Pie, and just about every smartphone out there.

I think the architecture was originally to outdo the old Motorola 6502.

My old Speccy is still upstairs, I dust it off from time to time.. It's funny how I still remember BASIC after all these years.

There's so much room for innovation with this little device. There's any number of projects that could be brought to life.

The price point just makes it accessible to everyone. Just watch, Rasperry Pie could take over the world! It's a hobbyists dream.

They haven't shipped any production boards yet have they? Did you buy one of the beta boards from Ebay?

Yes, it's a beta board.. Sorry, should've been a little clearer on that.
