What's Your Pi Plan??

Former Member
Former Member over 13 years ago

Hi!

 

Just curious about what people were planning on using their Raspberry Pi's for once they started getting them!??

 

Current plan- SFF Media PC / NAS etc mounted onto the VESA on the back of my TV

 

Later plan- Replace car stereo etc with RPi

 

Probably not the most origional use there but still, godda start somewhere!

    I want to use them as Third World Computers, and send them to a village I know in "Serere", Ugunda, Africa...

     

    I'm not too sure what types of "video-capable" TV/Monitors/etc they have over there, BUT I'm sure for a few cents they can pick up an old TV/CRT.

     

    Then village children will be able to "program themselves" (and their exteneded families) into a better life. (ie: learn to program and build a better life for their families).
