I have to say I haven't looked into RPI history, I only remember a video where they were marketing a device that is affordable and very much suitable for learning programming, mostly aimed at kids. Remembering that and seeing them now on the exchange kinda leads to a contradiction in my mind. Especially since a year ago you couldn't even buy a device if you had the money, let alone if you couldb't afford one as they intended at the beginnings.
