"Raspberry Pi, the credit card sized low cost mini-computer..."
Wow.. I am getting old.. I still remember being a kid and read that minicomputers were a cabinet size computer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minicomputer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minicomputer) as opposite to microcomputers which were desktops... I guess it's time to upgrade definitions :)
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoI'm a 16-year-old and that is also the definition I know. Partly because of the ridiculously out-of-date "Computing Studies" Intermediate 2 Scottish Qualifications course I did at school, but it's mostly because I had the privilege of growing up with Windows 3.1, DOS, and QBASIC, as well as an old book from a used book store for beginners about "Programming Microcoputers". 10 INPUT "Hello!
