Yeah but you only need to spend £15 on the computer to fire the web browser up on now.

The misleading thing about the '£15' Raspberry Pi is that the main peripheral I/O is via USB, so to get this device on the 'net you must factor in at least another £17 minimum for a powered USB hub and USB network adaptor - and then we have a £32 USEABLE computer. It would have cost about £2 to add an RJ45 Ethernet adaptor to the basic design so I hope this will be considered in due course (I have contacted the developers about this)
