One of the more interesting questions (and the Rasberry Pi creator is investing in) is 'learning about computers.' Which I truly support. (Local high school computer class was about how to use Microsoft Office, bleh!) Its one of the reasons have felt that Arduino's and their spawn are doing a great service of getting people interested in understanding what the computer is doing at a more complex level, before they open up their first kernel file and gaze upon the complexity therein.
