You guys are the absolute worst thing to happen to my bank account, never mind the bl**dy Nigerian scam-mongers  


(Drats, I forgot the release was so close otherwiae I wouldn't have bought the Arduino board to play with...then again, probably would have had as much luck as you in getting one.)

I hope RS Components (AU) and Element14 (Farnell AU) get some of the next batch, even though I'll still miss out

Might be the best thing actually!

Imagine a nice HD video player and home theater server for around $250 all in? Or finally doing that second home server you were thinking about doing just for the kids, but couldn't quite cost justify.

I'm personally imagining my life with thin client Linux boxes in almost every room of the house talking to a big honking (and probably expensive since I wouldn't do that using an R-Pi. At least I don't think I would...) personal cloud server hiding down in my basement.

I might also put an email server on one, a webserver on another,  and use a third as a soup-to-nuts firewall/router combo!

Hmm...I wonder if they'll eventually offer it in 6-packs?

I'm thinking that instead of DC mugs as giveaways, there's a new alternative:

Pie has room for SSD Pi doesn't? (something like that any way)
