Why didn't they create it when I was into that stuff like in the late 80's?

Because back then, having such power would entail a computer half the size of your room!

I think it's actually cool

Sure it might seem cool, but how long will it last? Is there a warranty? It seems like a joke gift almost....
Well, who am I to judge. I have a Windows 7, and its not broken so why should i complain. It might be good,though, if my computer broke. Well, you know until I can purchase a good one.

Yup, power equaled big and expensive back theni xD
I just miss that time when I used to go to Radio Shack and bought diodes, LEDs, resistors, PCB boards, threw them in my backpack and rode my bike to my bro so we could make alarms, radios, amplifiers and other fun electronic things (big time nostalgic with a lump in my throat).
If I were the same age now and I had a Raspberry Pi I think I would go nuts. xD

Come on people, my thread is going in the toilet!
Does anyone own one (not a toilet, a Raspberry Pi)?  What have you done with it?
I'd like to know. I might buy one eventually.
