    I’ve always wanted one of these. Now with the beefier (if that is a word) I want one even more.

      I’ve been running my original Model B as a media player for 4 years and still going strong.
      I’m also keen on the Pi Zero soon to be released as well.
      And yes, beefier is a word, exactly how you meant it.
