Be honest, you thought you had hit the EDIT button so you could remove the extra 'a' but it turned out to be the QUOTE button.

hey up...SB has got his serious head on this morning...think he wants us all to behave ourselves....not much chance of that....

john first the blackbury now now the raspberry lol...you should treat yourself if you want one...

This Raspberry looks a lot like the Arduino I have been using to produce an electronic product.
Less than £20 and connects to the USB port of a computer for power and data. The software writing editor is available free on the internet, as are many examples and projects of code.
The Raspberry goes a lot further, especially in connectivity terms. I shall be getting one as soon as RS or Farnell get them in stock.

I remember trying to write programs nearly 40 years ago in Argol 67 (I think that was its name). Don't think I shall be trying this one out

Yeah I remember writing a couple of simple programmes on my ZX81 I think the language I used was BASIC, the trouble was that the whole thing was such a shaky affair that you kept loosing everything you had done and then you only had 16k to play with. As I progressed to better machines and ready made programmes became easier to obtain. I forgot all ideas of becoming a programmer.
