The Raspberry Pi project that we've been fans of for quite a while now (https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/12/01/17/0014220/raspberry-pi-25-linux-computer-now-in-production-video) has hit a new milestone: Today, they announced that as of the last week in October, the project has sold more than two million boards (http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/5265). Raspberry Pi is anything but alone in the tiny, hackable computer world (all kinds of other options, from Arduino (http://slashdot.org/tag/arduino) to the x86-based Minnowboard (http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/13/09/20/1619225/intel-rolls-out-raspberry-pi-competitor), are out there, and all have their selling points), but the low price, open-source emphasis, and focus on education have all helped the Pi catch on. If yours is one of these 2 million, what are you using it for? (And if you favor some other small system for your own experiments, what factors matter?)
