    Yeah, I am aware of that. RT will now belong to a long abandonware list that will be recycled for the Pi. The Raspbian Wheezy OS is actually a full working OS by itself. So I may stick with it.

Yeah, I know that you know. *Smile My comment was meant more as a general comment for others reading this thread that may not know what a raspberry Pi actually is or does.

    Depends on your definition of geek I guess. The GPIO pins let you interface with and control other devices. You can connect sensors and servos etc. Robotics etc. It's a nice device for a project where a full PC would be overkill, or take up to much space. Arduino and Beaglebone are also popular. Have a look around here and you'll see what I mean. Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits They can often do things fairly easily, that are overly complicated to do on a traditional PC. Even by itself it has many uses.

    Hey @alphanumeric , have you heard about the Banana Pi? It's a chinese version of RPi which I think is the main reason why RPi2 was created. The Banana Pi is more powerful that the first version of RPi. *Smile I almost got a Banana Pi before.

I vaguely remember reading about it. I already had my B+ and wasn't looking for a second one at the time.

    But, but, but . . . I have Microsoft Office for Android tablets on my RCA tablet, which has ARM processor, KitKat OS (might be a show stopper for Pi)1 GB RAM, Dalvik runtime with a 10.1" display.

    And I'll bet you can use an apk to put KitKat (Android 4.4) onto the Pi. *Smile

    Granted, this version of Office has only Word, Excel and PowerPoint, but those are what most folks use anyway.

    I'd also hazard a guess that if Microsoft can do it, so can others.

    Yep! It's not only a geek thing, but in my NSHO, it's a major geek thing.

    I may be able to build and set up my own computers and solve the various problems my senior clients have, but I am just not that geeky! *Cool

    I'd also hazard a guess that if Microsoft can do it, so can others. That version of office is not the x86 version. More like the office RT they coded to run on the Surface RT. That's my understanding anyway. There was a plan to port Android 4 to the Pi but it fizzled out. The old ARM processor used was the road block. The new one on the Pi 2 B makes it easier to run Android. I wanted Android so I could run Netflix. I should be able to do that in Windows 10 with the Netflix App so I won't likely bother with Android. Not unless the new port of Android shows up first. If that happens and I'll have a look see.

You put your OS on an SD card and plug it in the built in card reader. Plug a cell phone charger into the Pi's micro USB port for the power supply. Connect a monitor to the HDMI port. Then a USB keyboard and mouse. It's the same connectors you see on a PC. Putting your OS on the SD card correctly is what takes the most time. There are several operating system compiled for the PI available. Downloads | Raspberry Pi

    No, Microsoft is no longer producing RT based tablets. Windows RT is still alive and kicking for IoT (Internet of Things). Expect to see WinRT in everything from GPS devices to in-dash car systems, to smart-TV's and other applicances.

    Nice little case, Robot! I'm too busy to play with those things, but I like what I read.
