The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
and we should be deeply worried about that[/redtitle](house of lords debate, talking about Cameron)0 -

Wow, i would have been so excited to get one of these as a kid. We need to kick off children's interest in electronics/computing again in this country or we are going to get left behind. I had my Amiga A500 to do this... Sadly the modern PC isn't really as inspirational
Personally, i'd want it as a cheap 'internet TV box'. Hook it up to a wireless trackpad+keyboard and my TV and you've got a good little plaything.
However, as my kids get older I'd want to get the gertboard and build their own LOGO robot with it0
