OP said there are faster & cheaper boards available, which is undeniably true, the article specifically says it's about the community & the provision of support for school children (Kids are the spawn of goats) which makes the Pi a better tool for school children, due to the community support - for teaching programming.
The Arduino may well be cheaper; but the point's moot.
Depends how you cook it & the provenance of the bacon.

Heh, at least you're prepared for the downvote storm.

Oh dear oh dear, been reading the Socialist History revisionist pamphlet have you? "Reagan and Thatcher supported Apartheid", please do some research, preferably not on wikipedia, and revert.

I'm 54 this year. I love playing with my Pi.
But then it's more powerful than the Minicomputers I started on in the late 70's
I think Whoosh applies here for you.
It's not about the sodding hardware, or cost of said hardware. !!
Are we speaking the same language?
Not mine sonny!
Saw this in Vietnam........... You ain't gonna win naff all!!!.
Crawl back under your turd mush.
I have never understood why people would create an account, then post this sort of shite anonymously. Seriously why?
Brain dead I suppose.
This is what I absolutely hate about both /. & wikishite.
Nope, I'm not going to explain; if you have to ask you don't understand!
Spot on AC, the man says "you talk bollocks" but makes no apposite case.

Don't understand your post, is this a religious thing?

"Fanny Bottom" is the name of my (fictional) Ass, rather like "Anonymous Coward" is yours....
Top marks, upvote parent.
Probably not wise to quote wikipedia as "authoritative".
Just pointing it out.. K!

Sorry you twat, we know a great deal about Nelson Mandela, you on the other hand, probably get all of your news from the back of crisp packets.
