I must admit that I am not overly in favour of the
Raspberry pi...
It doesn't excite me either, but then I'm not a hard core techie. I can
see the value of it as a fun educational toy maybe, but...it's not for me.
Re: the second part of this dual thread (America). Most world governments
are weak, financiers/corporates are strong (deregulation in the 1980s
having unleashed unfettered greed), much wealth concentrated in the hands
of too few and stockmarkets are actually casinos. I won't start a political
rant but the only reason people aren't rioting in the streets in Western
countries is because no-one can see (or are too afraid to implement) an
alternative to the broken system we have.
It's depressing.
Unfortunately, globalisation means that even down here in little old New
Zealand my kids are probably going to have it harder than I did.
