Since today, I can call myself a proud owner of a Raspberry Pi ! Since the launch in februari 2012, I was hoping to receive an order invitation from RS components. On May, 19th, I finally received my personal invitation code, and 5 minutes later, the RPI was ordered and paid for. (It was stated in the order confirmation, that despatch would take at least 3 weeks …) So, yesterday, I received an email from DHL, with a tracking-number. Today the package was already delivered to me. It’s already up and running 🙂 Still thousands and thousands of people waiting “inline” after me, to get their hands on such a device …
For those of you, who don’t know what all this fuss is about, check out http://www.raspberrypi.org and read the FAQ and WIKI.
In the meanwhile, I also discovered the Gooseberry board. Have a look at http://gooseberry.atspace.co.uk
