You can do alot with one without knowing much or any programming. I usually use mine to watch videos off my media server, but now and then I run some emulation and play some classic games. On rare occasions I will tool around linux and try some of the user projects on here for the hell of it, one of these days when I have time I may start a project of my own with one but I wouldn't count on it. If none of that appeals to you though don't buy one just cause it's the cool (+ nerd weiner size) thing to have.

What do you do with one ?

Hi,

with the Raspberry Pi you try to solve problems that you would not have without her. Many husbands will be reminded of someone.

So you can play emulators on there ? I really want one live playing around with computers think I'm going to have to get one what's the best one to get?

There is only one.

(Wait... hehe,nm)

A more appropriate question would be Where to buy one?

..and that, I'm afraid, depends almost entirely on your location and your sense of adventure.
