The raspberry pi is a nice little computer, and it can be made
accessible. However, you don't have to wait to own a pi to learn how to
use one. The raspberry pi uses a version of linux, so any linux machine
will teach you how to use the pi as well. I have multiple raspberry
pis, and I even used a raspberry pi model 2 for nearly a whole year as
my primary computer, and it worked just fine. There's a raspberry pi
list for vi folks if you're interested, I don't have the address handy,
but just do a search for raspberry-vi and it should be findable without
too much trouble.

Hello everybody
I’m thinking about getting involved in one, possibly even 2 new
avenues of computing. Firstly, I am toying with the idea of treating
myself to a Google ChromeBox, or one made by a third party. As you
probably all know, they run CjromeOS, and rely on the Google Cloud to
synchronise data across both other devices and just the cloud itself
as a backup.
Cloud computing is something which I always had reservations about.
But it appears that cloud solution providers are going to great
lengths to implement data integrity and security for their customers.
In view of this, Think that perhaps the time has come now for me to
expand my arsenal. This is probably enhanced by the fact that I hope
very soon to be the CEO of an organisation which I am establishing to
provide both local and online training for clients requiring my
assistance.
I’ve been talking to the RNIB over here and they tell me that they
would most likely use my services, so that’s a great foot in the door.
I want to be able to provide the very best training experience that I
can, and that means hands-on knowledge of the technologies.
The second avenue I am thinking about exploring, although not until
the time is right, is the Rasbury Pie project. I don’t know whether I
spelled that rightly. I’ve been doing some reading on that and it
sounds like a very interesting project.
