    It’s like computers for the masses of Asia! We should make Raspberry Pi and
    a small screen, similar to a phone’s screen, with a simple scroll pad, for
    people in India! Cheap, useful… but we can go cheaper… ?

    Maybe you can answer this question for me. On the top of the pi, there are
    two connectors with white holders around them (one right near the ethernet
    jack, and one right above the SD Card holder). What are these for?
    Raspberry PI Model B Revision 2.?

    up. Have a great holiday & happy New Year!?

    This looks a bit of a faff. Just get an SD card with NOOBs already on it.
    And should boot up a lot faster. You should also get a Configuration menu
    on first Boot, and choice of OS to unpack and install.?
