RE: Getting Started With Raspberry Pi - Part 1

This blog post is incorrectly titled. It is not a "Getting Started With Raspberry Pi" post at all, but a short newspaper-type overview of the concept and board specs. It tells you nothing about getting started. I think it could appropriately be renamed to something like "Overview of Raspberry Pi boards".

That said, I'm not sure why such an article would be posted here almost a year and a half after Pi launch, and long after many highly detailed blog and forum posts have been written here about the Pi boards. It's like a step back in time.

The post is also wildly inaccurate in making senseless comments like "there is no heat dissipation". This is an engineering site. Blog articles don't have to be professional, but they should attempt to stay clear of being just plain wrong. It does no credit to the site, and worse, it mis-educates any youngsters who may be reading it.

To be historically accurate, I suggest that the following sentence:

The first model of Raspberry Pi that appeared was Model-A, which had only one USB port and no Ethernet socket. Later, Model-B came into market with two USB ports,Ethernet socket and 256MB RAM

should be changed to :

The first model of Raspberry Pi that appeared was Model-B, with two USB ports, an Ethernet socket.and 256MB ram. Later, the Model B was upgraded to 512MB, and Model-A came to market with one USB port,no Ethernet socket and 256 MB ram.
