Absolutely Steve,

I worked in a lab where someone was working with Arduino. Some senior
people from BBC said that it was just what they had been looking for. I
haven't seen anything since, however I think that the popularity of Pi
could carry the day this time. I'm sure that other variations will also
come to the surface.

Other developments, such as YaCy : http://yacy.net/en/ suggest that a
tipping point towards Free Software is arriving.
