Raspberry Pi launch turns into frenzy

This morning, I experienced the nerd equivalent of a Black Friday $50 iPad sale. At 07:00 CET, the first batch of the much-anticipated Raspberry Pi went on sale, and while Raspberry Pi itself was very properly prepared, the two large international retailers actually selling the device weren't - despite warnings from Raspberry Pi about the enormous amount of traffic that would come their way, the two sites crumbled to dust within seconds. There's good news too - the cheaper model A has seen its RAM doubled at no additional cost.

Needless to say, I couldn't get my order in. But so what? They'll make more.
With demand for a piece of technology as 'right' as this, how could they possibly not?
And if you don't know what Rasberry Pi is, or why it's such a big deal, you can read all about it here.
