Raspberry Pi a credit-card sized computer

Today I got the Raspberry Pi which I ordered last week. I was really exciting to start exploring the possibilities of this new toy.

What is Raspberry Pi?

The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video.

I  took around 2 hours to figure out how to get started, once I had finished the basic setup I created a simple video and I hope you can understand what this small monster is capable of.

Hope you enjoyed it 😉
