As several J chatterers have mentioned the Raspberry Pi, I'd welcome
ideas about it
as a present for our son. He's old enough to know better, in his 40s,
but persists in
writing Pascal/C++ code for his job in a smallish S/W outfit, producing
& maintaining
software for big Accountancy firms, such as PCW. He enjoys writing 2-3d
graphics/video
apps for tablets as a hobby.
I think he must have mentioned the Pi to his Mum a few days ago; she's
passed the
baton to me.
I see there are several models out there, and they seem to come in
various forms,
from what looks like a Motherboard + through to a complete PC, minus
monitor.
J chat has mentioned models up to the Pi 4 B, but there's a Pi 400 PC
kit out there. Are the
earlier generations worth looking at?
Bearing in mind that I'm unlikely to persuade him to install J (though
he might appreciate
Mathematica which has been mentioned as part of the bundle) : any ideas,
recommendations, caveats....
Thanks in advance
Mike
