Perfect though for schools/universities to teach students to *write their own* software though. Who needs a 512Mb model to run educational software if your purpose is to teach children to write their own? I think donating any unwanted 256Mb models to schools (or third world projects?) is a great idea.On Mon, 15 Oct 2012, paul sutton wrote:On 15/10/12 18:18, Dan Dart wrote:Wait for what... to Landfill your existing Pi when it can no-longer run because someone decided that some vital bit of software now needs 512MB to run in?Even if I can't put my old one to the same use - it will still be a good use, don't knock it!I certainly hope they don't end up in landfill, if you're going to chuck it away, donate it to a school at least :) I am sure the school i work at would have one or two. :)Which won't work when they eventually release all the educational software for schools designed to work on the 512MB models only.OK, so maybe I'm a tad cynical here, however, let's wait and see...
