I think I have 10+ RPi units now, probably from all versions including the one one had to que for when it was initially released.

With these changes I can see the Pi now as a complete desktop replacement computer. That is, something which is capable of doing everything you need with a computer. It should have no problem quickly lading multiple web pages, playing web video, running all the normal desktop applications such as Gimp, Audacity, and Lazarus. I will be ordering one as soon as I can get the new case without buying the full kit. I will also be updating my download page to include a special version of FPC and Lazarus more suited to the Pi 4. Cheers, Anthony Hi, all, with the Pi 4 a new OS version appeared, Raspian Buster. On this I selected "Add/Remove Software" and clicked on "IDE for Free Pascal - Suite / lazarus -2.0-2.0.0-dfsg-2". Lazarus 2 was installed and I clicked on "IDE starten". But then this error message appeared: "The package EditorMacroScript (pascalscript macros) has detected a problem and was deactivated. The package failed it's selftest with the message 'Replace All [Exc: True / Got_ False]'" How to fix?

I get what you are saying, but simply reusing a mobile phone charger or
Macbook/laptop charger for power should do. Most RPi users should
already have a SD card and other peripherals lying around - or simply
RDP/SSH into the PRi and no extra peripherals are needed.
One or two less takeaway Lattes (coffee) for one month and you paid for
your HDMI cable or dedicated power supply. ;-)
I still think the RPi is an amazing accomplishment. My old company has
done some amazing things with the original RPi v1's (I still have one too).

Graeme

I read the specs that came out last night, that not only the connector for the power changed, but also that it needs a stronger power supply. PoE is a dud option, beside that you need the addition PoE hat, and power via GPIO is not a "simple" one for someone who's looking into a desktop PC...

Well, "starting at"...
The 4GB version ("wenn schon, denn schon"... ;-) ) is $55, add to that
that you need also a 5V/3A power supply, a SD card and now new (mini)
HDMI cables or adapters. Add a screen/monitor to it, and/or a camera,
keyboard, mouse and you are north of $100, in range where you get a low
end notebook these days...
Nevertheless, it is a nice step of evolution, specially now that it has
a dedicate Gigabit Ethernet and WiFi chip and doesn't (ab)use the USB
controller for that as on previous models. Wish they could decide to
make a 2 or 3 Ethernet port model, so you can build a really nice and
handy firewall/VPN gateway... :P
That said, Lazarus was workable on a RPi3B+, with just 1GB of RAM...
