The popularity has stunned supporters in the UK and the US alike and we talked about education, the future of the Pi, the mystery of the ultra-rare Model A owned by Lady Ada, the only unit of its kind in America.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I remember when Raspberry Pis were rare enough that I had a spreadsheet that told me where they were in the world,&#8221; said Eben. &#8220;Now we&#8217;re a million Pis in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Pi is computing of the best sort &#8211; it&#8217;s a little intimidating at first and then an amazing amount of fun. If the Upton&#8217;s vision comes to fruition, expect to see an entire generation of computer-educated kids rolling through the school systems around the world, ready to take on the future.<\/p>\n<br \/>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/tctechcrunch2011.wordpress.com\/768597\/\"><\/a> <div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=a1_EhGCIKww:f5rs5oS-rZg:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=a1_EhGCIKww:f5rs5oS-rZg:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=a1_EhGCIKww:f5rs5oS-rZg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=a1_EhGCIKww:f5rs5oS-rZg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=a1_EhGCIKww:f5rs5oS-rZg:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Raspberry Pi project is one year old today, having launched on February 29, 2012 (they&#8217;re going to have a rager of a party in 2016.)
