Does it look like I care I got banned over 20 times? If someones a loving idiot i'm going to call them in idiot and get banned.
I'd call purchasing another key after being banned over 20 times idiocy by definition.

Yeah, please do.

yes, it is amazing, I had it for desert yesterday

Raspberry Pie?

Raspberry Pi?

Raspberry Private Investigator Emerson Cod?

and here we see the Glass in its natural habitat, throwing rocks at all the other forumers.

Lol, you're ready to spend ~$400 in order to come all over your keyboard every time you get banned from an internet forum.

OT: I got a Raspberry Pi and unless you want to learn programming on a separate environment (which is a good reason to get one IMO), then the Pi isn't really good for much else.

If you want to buy something like the RPi that can be used for more stuff, consider the BeagleBone Black and the CuBox Hummingboard. They have stupendously higher specs, but aren't much more expensive.

EDIT: If you plan on using it for just web browsing (and nothing else at the same time), just get an RPi and overclock it to 1GHz using raspi-config. Otherwise, I would strongly advise that you either a) get a Hummingboard or a BeagleBone Black, or b) buy a used Thinkpad on eBay and throw Linux on it.

I read title as, "Is the Racerboy good?"

Depends on you

I have one. It's fun for like a couple days. Now it just sits collecting dust. :(
It's god awful for web browsing because it lacks video drivers and the CPU has to render everything, taking up 99%, giving you like 10MHz to actually use for stuff.

This. I have a Model B and I forgeted around with it for awhile and now its just sitting in my basement

Was really looking to code, learn coding, or just browse the web.

even browsing the web will be a very hard task for the raspberry pie/ similar machines
save up some more
like seriously i'd be amazed if it could start up eclipse (workplace for java coding) in under 2 minutes

why don't you tell your parents that you really want to code, and maybe they could provide you some money? idk
most parents would be happy if they knew their son wanted to get into that stuff

Well we are on an extreme budget.

Go to craigslist and find an old Thinkpad for like $60 bucks.

I have my R-Pi set up as a media client for my TV. It works well for that.
