Hello,
I never be away from this list. I am reading threats, but, sometimes,
there are a lots of emails and I don't read everything.
Vojta.

Hello Vojta,===========================================================
First of all thanks for your thanks. And welcome to the list if you have
just recently joined.
The Raspberry Pi 400 is sadly the first model of the Pi to not include a
3.5mm audio jack. But it quite easy to use a USB audio dongle and to
configure it to make it the default sound device. I will be posting
instructions on how to do this to the Web site.
You could indeed send and receive email with it. What with depends on
the operating system, and whether you have a graphical desktop installed.
If you run console only, then a console only email client such as mutt
could be used.
But if you have a graphical desktop, then one of the accessible email
clients, such as Thunderbird would work well.
I do very little with the Raspberry Pi boards I have, other than test
and write stuff for this list and the site, and I also do some software
development for some customers who are using the Pi for industrial
applications. But that is another story.
The Raspberry Pi 400 has 4GB of RAM, so it will perform better for us in
a graphical desktop than the 1GB versions which came before.

Hello folks===========================================================
My Pi 400 just arrived. These are my immediate first impressions.
Quite impressed by the rigidity of the whole assembly. Holding on to
each end, cannot detect any movement when I gently try to twist it. I
have no doubt a very strong person could though. But that would be true
of almost any standard PC keyboard. I would avoid sitting on it if I was
to, for example, lay it on my bed for some reason.
Was a bit nervous about the quality and feel of the membrane keyboard,
but it feels nice. Every bit as nice as the Caseflex Bluetooth keyboard
I have.
I saw one review that says there is no cover over the GPIO bus, but mine
has a rubber cover which is a push fit. When it is removed it is a
separate piece. So I will stick some sellotape (Scotch tape) over it to
prevent me losing it. Don't see myself using the GPIO on this Pi.
The arrangement of the keys will take some getting used to if I want to
do a lot with it, other than over SSH. The description Tim Chase gave me
and which I am going to put on the Web site will help me there. I hope
it will help others too.
I have not stoked it up yet. That comes later.
For an additional £5, I got a nice sleeve for it, which feels as if it
would give pretty good protection when the Pi is slung into a ruck sack
and carted about, for example.
Thanks to thepihut.co.uk for a fast delivery and a very competitive price.
I went for just the Pi, no additional 'starter kit' bits.
