Hi!

The Raspberry Pi package arrived today, its been assembled and that's as far as 
I think I can go for now without sighted assistance.

The package contained a number of items including the Raspberry Pi itself, a 
nice plastic case, a 16GB HC SD card with all the software for the Pi, a HDMI 
cable for connection to a TV or surround-sound receiver, a power supply, a USB 
remote controller and mouse and a USB Wi-Fi dongle.

Assembling the Raspberry Pie into its case was easy enough, the board pretty 
much clips into the case and all the ports are visible though it did take me a 
little while to work out how the SD Card was inserted, it goes into the Pi 
upside down.

The Raspberry Pi board has several connections, 2 USB ports, a HDMI port, audio 
out/headphones port and a composet video out port as well as the SD card 
connector and a micro USB input for the power supply.

You can use a conventional USB keyboard instead of the supplied remote 
control/mouse if you would rather but I haven't gone down that road yet as I'm 
hoping to be able to control the whole thing from the XBMC Remote Controller 
App for IOS.

If a USB keyboard isn't your thing and freedom means a lot to you then you can 
use a wireless keyboard instead.

So I'm at a dead end right now <smile> and will write more on this project when 
I'm able to get someone to read my monitor to see what the Pi requires, I 
reckon it will probably want details of various servers it can use for TV 
shows, Movies and so on.
