Raspberry Pi Arrives, With a School Debut In Leeds

[wraggster]

It seems fitting that the first batch of Raspberry Pi computers landed in the UK (http://www.itproportal.com/2012/04/13/first-batch-16-raspberry-pi-pcs-arrives/#ixzz1rzRjA51t) in the hands of school children based in Leeds as what many consider as another wave of grass-root computing revolution, another BBC Micro 2.0, begins. The Raspberry Pi has been designed from scratch to get anyone interested in computer programming to do so without forking out much; the base unit can connect to a television like the Commodore C64 or the Sinclair ZX81. According to the BBC, the first batch has been presented [Friday] by Eben Upton (http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-17703852), the school project coordinator, in an event held at the Leeds offices of Premier Farnell, one of the official PI distributors.
