    New Pi anyone

    The Raspberry pi 2 model b has just been released.

    4x the memory of the previous model
    Quad core processor and supposedly at least 6 times faster.

    Available from http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/proces...-kits/8326274/ with news Turbocharged Raspberry Pi 2 unleashed: Global geekgasm likely

    Once I've got my Xmas Pi going I'll let you know

      I've backed the Pimoroni project on Kickstarter, so I'll get a new Pi2 when that ships.

          Yeah, MS are specifically targeting W10 for it. Pretty neat IMO.

              Do you plan on doing pointless things six times faster, or six times as many pointless things in the same time?
              Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                  WHS.

                  If this Pi thing doesn't increase your day rate, get you laid, or go from 0 -60 in under 4 seconds, it seems as pointless as Celebrity Big Brother Dancing on Ice....

                    I have a reason for using which the previous version doesn't quite achieve. This should resolve that problem for less than the next solution...
