The fact that it is run by the same studio that ran Toonami, Williams Street, was a plus. These comparisons stopped, however, when Creator/AdultSwim (and Creator/CartoonNetwork in general) underwent significant NetworkDecay.

* TheMusketeer pretty much became the SpiritualSuccessor to the KnightInShiningArmor. Several factors include AdamSmithHatesYourGuts where to be a Knight you needed to be wealthy to afford and maintain your very expensive and heavy suit of armor and your warhorses whenever you go into battle. Knight charges were also easily countered newer military tactics like Pike and Shot or HitAndRunTactics. And last but not least, as time went on firearms became more accurate with greater muzzle velocity making [[ArmorIsUseless armor useless]].
** France's [[PraetorianGuard Musketeers of the Guard]] where not all that different from their Knight counterpart. Like Knights, the Musketeers where also from the nobility and were the [[ElitesAreMoreGlamorous Special Forces]] during their time.

* The [[http://www.raspberrypi.org Raspberry Pi]] computer, a $35 single-board Linux machine the size of a credit card, is meant as a successor to the BBCMicro, with its low cost and heavy emphasis on computer science education for children. The Raspberry Pi Foundation laments the change in emphasis from open computer platforms that encouraged experimentation and programming at an early age in the 80s, to using office software and depending on closed-source programs just to get basic computing done of the present day, and they hope the success of their product (which crashed the two stores that sold it on launch day and at one point was said to have received 700 orders per ''second'') will bring about a renaissance of children tinkering with their computers' internals just like the heyday of the 8-bit computers. It goes so far as to have two models, a basic Model A and an enhanced Model B (now on sale, unlike the A), just like the BBC Micro did, and even sweetens the deal by having 1080p h.264 playback capability at 30 fps.
