The RPi Foundation hope it will have the same sort of effect as the BBC micro did back in the day. It will get kids into programming. You can start by learning Python! _________________ My System:Arch-Arm on RPi! "RacyPy" puplet on Toshiba Tecra 8200. PIII, 256 MB RAM. RaspberryPy: Lobster and I blog about the RPi. |

Thanks...I have the yellow and two other plugs, which I believe are audio. Guess I'll get on the waiting list and watch the progress here. |

Yup, you can get a headphone jack to twin RCA cable to connect those up too, should also be a couple of bucks. Possible issues on old TV may be around PAL/NTSC ... So the picture might come up in black and white when you boot ... Until you fix it 
Anyway, here is the reason why despite our best efforts I suspect most of use won't see our PIs for a while : http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/02/29/raspberrypi_mania/ Cheers John de Murga |

http://elinux.org/R-Pi_FAQ One thing you might like is the Gert board for controlling stuff from the Pi board Python should be in most series 5 devx Python is a good language because it was named after Monty Python Here for no real reason is one of the Pythons inspiration (Spike Milligan) dressed as a viking blowing raspberries . . . http://youtu.be/BOTZJgc39NA _________________ Puppy WIKI Last edited by Lobster on Thu 01 Mar 2012, 20:05; edited 1 time in total |

I haven't ordered yet going to hold out for some of the hype to die down first then hopefully i wont be left waiting for ages on a pre order. So what do folks plan to do with them? I read there will be a camera attachment and another circuit board type attachment that can control things like motors and sensors. Im thinking connected to HDTV with a nice weather conky and news ticker - internet radio and maybe torrent downloader. |

I am pleased that you broached the subject of the burning. The next time you are chatting with the dali lama whisper quite firmly in his ear 'The burning, it has got to stop.'( attached) _________________ ASUS EeePC Flare series 1025C 4x Intel Atom N2800 @ 1.86GHz RAM 2063MB 800x600p ATA 320G _-¤-_ <º))))><.¸¸.•´¯`•.#.•´¯`•.¸¸. ><((((º> |

Update about the distributors: Farnell asks for a trade account before your order can be processed, while RS-Online just takes your information for future sales. I note that Farnell's price (in Pesos) has increased from P1,860 to P2,000 overnight. Addition: The launch was made quite dramatic, with a 0600H-29Feb2012 "set your alarms" announcement. And when it happened, ordering was directed to two new partner-distributors. Because of this, the enthusiasts' past labors in registering at raspberrypi.com for future purchase was made useless. It made nice headlines, though, like "RPI Sells Out in A Stampede, etc etc." So sad for a beautiful open-source device with well-meaning enthusiasts. _________________ Puppy user since Oct 2004.

talk on irc this morning of a daughter-board already planned with sata and a couple of extra mem card 'slots' it's already got hdmi so using a hdmi to vga convertor should work ok. |

Don't think it is so easy. You may be able to get a cable with the connectors, but this is only for special hardware that can handle the different signals. HDMI is digital and VGA/RCA are analog ... DVI was worse, because there was DVI-A and regular DVI (so DVI->HDMI worked, but DVI-A->HDMI didn't). Last time I checked HDMI to VGA adapters cost more than a PI

Unless you are going to sit ontop of your tv the HDMI cables arent cheap either. Suppose you could have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard to compensate. Once again extra cost. _________________ ASUS EeePC Flare series 1025C 4x Intel Atom N2800 @ 1.86GHz RAM 2063MB 800x600p ATA 320G _-¤-_ <º))))><.¸¸.•´¯`•.#.•´¯`•.¸¸. ><((((º> |

Never had a problem with my $5 HDMI cables from ebay/amazon ... The new TV came with a $60 cable ("free"), and it doesn't make any difference. It does look cooler, so I use the expensive cable

Not all of them - there's a bog std. one for a couple of quid in the CPC catalogue if you've got time to search it out. If you're desperate, I can look up the code from past orders and PM it. Later: sorry, can't find it - must've been a telephone order. |

I'm desperate (in more ways than 7) Please post details Sage. Did you order one (or try to get a slice?) Twitter from rpi team - gone silent. They are up to something . . . . . . I am still excited . . . I am hoping their site will go up soon and then we will have more info

Just got a message from Liz Upton from Rpi headquarters
some of you have probably seen the snort inducing video for doubters and detractors . . . http://youtu.be/wEZ-NvSKJLI They are clearly swamped.
