The Raspberry Pi has sold 10 million units - continuing its success as the most popular British computer ever.
The computer, about the same size as a credit card, was first released in 2012 and is widely used as an educational tool for programming.
However, it can also be used for many practical purposes such as streaming music to several devices in a house.
A new starter kit for Raspberry Pi, including a keyboard and mouse, has been released to celebrate the success.
The kit also includes an SD storage card, official case, power supply, HDMI cable, mouse, keyboard and guidebook - it costs £99 plus VAT and will be available in the coming weeks.
Congratulations and thanks to Eben Upton and the Raspberry Pi Foundation for getting a whole new generation of kids interested in computing and reigniting passion for technology among old curmudgeonly techies.

practical purposes such as streaming music to several devices in a house
Subtly implied that only the adults would stream music to several devices, because the kids' music isn't allowed outside of their rooms. Yet the music is still being streamed inside a house which implies no profit motive, and unprofitable endeavors are not considered practical by successful moneyed adults. Bad example! Bad! Bad! Go to your room.
