    Raspberry Pi computer

    I have been looking for this little device for a very very long time and am yet to find anyone that is able to sell me a new one out of the box. But normally they are crazy with there prices asking over R1.5K for this little device [second hand]

    As I understand it, it was originally designed to be used as a inexpensive educational tool and or computer. Today I cannot see this happening. If I was the owner of this little device I would sue my distribution network... To date basically no one in the know ever even knew that this device ever even existed.

    Thus today was my very last attempt to get one the a$$ selling it wanted R2K for it...

    Cost is very high actually... And that is part of my problem. See the Pi is really small but you do get other Intel products that cost about R700 that can do a hell of a lot more then it can. Also you have Windows OS platform and driver support. If the cost was lets say R350 "half the price" of the Intel then yes you have to make it work then. But if the product price is basically only R200 less then what we are using AND there is additional cost like external hard-drive inclosure there is no point in the product.

    I think the Raspberry Pi simply to costly to get going in the end. And that As I have seen on YouTube was never the intention. It was suppose to be the cheapest solution. It's not
