Alan,
Why are you always so sceptical, negative and dismissive? I am so glad we are different generations, and I never had an engineer like you in any of my companies.
The Raspberry Pi was developed in people's spare time, much like the Arduino. They chose to move "profits" into a charitable organisation to further education in this field, a £1m of which is going into nothing to do with Raspberry Pi. The original design, albeit with slight minor updates, has now reached over 3 million units sold and is continuing to climb. They have also now produced two more variants - that's called "EVOLUTION" and listening to the market, Alan, and NOT hype.
This is to be my last post and visit here as I don't see any further value to my visiting, even though I have donated cash towards the running of the forum and also donated a scanner to Joe to assist his task as keeper of the archive material or whatever it is called.
Goodbye.
Colin
