Re: Will you get the A or B? Why?

Currently I plan on using a model B for running a web server, and a model A for controlling a robot via bluetooth. I might eventually get a third (B) as media server/games device as a permanent fixture behind my tv.

So, B if I\'m limited to one, and both if I can get them.
