I took a trip into Cambridge a couple of days ago to visit the new Raspberry Pi store. The company has released a new version of their small form computer the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B.
This is the first time in the history of this company that they have opened a shop. Which seems a bit weird as most shops seem to be abandoning the high street?

The staff were very helpful and we discussed the option of using this tiny computer as a web server and some other things. They also explained that they decided to open the shop when the electronics retailer Maplins went bust as a way to reach out to the general public.
Pi 4 tech specs
I use the Raspberry Pi to teach students/people how to program computers using Python. It can run just about any open source software including operating systems and even Windows 10.
The bench tests seem to indicate that this new model has some significant speed advantages over the previous model.
Why am I telling you all this?
It may be possible to run an instance of the steemit #condenser using the #MIRA framework on a small cluster of these devices. Set up costs less that $150.
I am investigating the potential for the general public to run steem built and backed websites out of the box.
