Appreciate the knowledge. So a $1000 Titan X could do what the Pi does, just a bunch or red tape and likely money preventing it. Sad
I didn't know as much about the purpose of the Pi before either. It all makes sense. I'd hope the community does realize the exceptional ways it's been used though and see the possibility in building a more powerful device, even if under a different banner. From my vantage point, paying $400-ish for a Pi that has the capability of running much like a decent HTPC would be more than acceptable. They can put all the money from the huge mark-up into furthering their work with kids. It's win-win in my book! Since the big-boy GPU manufacture's don't seem to want our money.
