Then build a modern day Atari 800 / C64.
Isn't that what Raspberry Pi is? A very simple, understandable, eminently hackable computer?
That does make me wonder: if I could get 35-40 of them for my kids' high school, would they put them to use? Or would three be as valuable as 40, since only the kids who are like I was would care?
- protomyth 14y agoNo, Raspberry Pi is a board. You don't hand people a motherboard and expect them to learn to program.
- akldfgj 14y agoCtrl-Shift-C in Chrome, or Ctrl-Shift-J in Firefox, will give you a programmable computing environment more powerful and expressive than a 20-year old Atari, Commodore, or Apple.
- protomyth 14y agoWhich means I have to have a computer already which is not < $200. Also, I really doubt I can use Firefox or Chrome to hook up some photocells to the machine and take readings or use the photocells as a musical instrument.
