Since the Raspberry Pi will be with us soon-ish (well, about six weeks
I
am told, for mine) does anyone have any interesting ideas about what
they
might do with it/them?

I'm not quite sure what the purpose of this machine is. Low cost? Once
you've added a monitor, keyboard, mouse, memory (and a PSU?), it won't
be
far from the cost of a netbook. (Edit: just seen that it plugs into a
TV.
Still, you need a spare TV...)

and who (families) doesn't have a spare TV?

We don't. Got rid of them as they take up too much room.

So you don't have one TV per house occupant so that everyone can watch their
own choice? (Wars have started for less)
