WELL that is one ugly computer - but it's $35 and the size of a credit card so what are you complaining about?
US technology company Raspberry Pi’s creation lets users program their own computer by giving them all the parts they need - including a wireless mouse, keyboard and an SD card reader.

It contains a Linux processor, memory chips and ports for almost every plug in device you could ever need including USB, HDMI and Ethernet cables.
As for a screen and software - that’s left up to users.
The tiny computers were initially developed to encourage children to get excited about computer programming and other technology - but the device has gotten the tech world in a frenzy.
The Raspberry Pi website crashed under the weight of all the web traffic after the device was made available for sale - even after the company limited sales to one $35 computer per customer.
Raspberry Pi has also released a no-frills $25 version that comes with without a case, keyboard or monitor.
Both computers contain a 700Mhz Linux processor, 256 MB of RAM, USB, HDMI, SD, RCA video and 3.5 mm audio ports.
