I remember when I got my first computer in 1985, a TRS-80. The old timers (I was nine) who hung around the Radio Shack used to say that computers were getting too commercialized, and the sense of the computer hobbyist was going away. It took me a long time to understand what they meant.

But the Raspberry Pi is reversing that. This is definitely a hobbyist's machine, and the kind of stuff people are making with it is amazing. Personally, I'm writing an operating system for it. That's really fun.
