Murphy's law of computing states that the day after you buy your machine, they announce a new one twice as good, at half the price.

Nick's Raspberry Pi arrived today - there must have been quite a demand for it to take nearly 4 months to arrive.

I still have no idea what it really is >dum<

I got all excited when I read Raspberry pie. I think you can sometimes get them for £1 in the supermarket, or were they cherry?

I'm hungry now :?

Mine arrived last week as well. My son whisked it away before I had a chance to experiment with it and he was using it online within half an hour. It's not the most powerful thing ever, but so cheap & small! The Linux op system is also basic and visually not very impressive but on the other hand it's FREE!!!
