    Can't help but wonder whether the momentum behind the Raspberry Pi might have been lost by the time the BBC weighs in http://ow.ly/pC5W4

        @bazzacollins I'm still to be convinced it ever HAD any momentum for anyone under 40.

        @bazzacollins Yeah, I've spoken to several. I'm still waiting to see kids flying solo with it, though, as seemed to be the plan.

        @bazzacollins Middle aged men keep putting web cams and balloons on them, that's all I ever see! Also: I have one gathering dust on my desk.

        @bazzacollins Designed to be used by kids, ends up being used by blokes with beards and sandals. It might as well be accredited by the BCS!

        @PaulOckenden Schools are definitely buying/using them. Agree it's not yet sparked a home revolution, though.

        @bazzacollins @PaulOckenden Their dream objective was 100,000 Pis in the hands of kids after a year. They've achieved 200,000.

        @bazzacollins schools and kids are definitely using them. I teach kids to code. Over half already owned a Pi before beginning.

        @kevpartner kids are loving unity though for games. Which uses C# and is cross platform. But yes not as flexible as C++!
