Anyone planning on buying a Raspberry Pi?

And will it be successful in getting kids to code?

This isn't edited yet, but it has a lot of information: A13735596

Just read the article. It sounds quite exciting to me (whose first computer was a ZX Spectrum!), but whether it will catch today's kids' interest is another matter. As a parent I tend to find that technology is taken for granted rather than exciting any sense of enthusiam for learning how it works.

I'm quite tempted to get one though (at that price) and see whether it can compete with a PS3 for attention-grabbing.

I'm waiting to be given the green light to place an order for one of these. K, my 9 year old, is really looking forward to messing about with it.
