In response to posts about Raspberry Pi (sorry for delay in answering): To Sven:
Is there actually anyone else in the group having one?
Yep, me. To Nathan:
Ordered from RS in July, anxiously awaiting delivery :/
That's not so good. I ordered mine from Element14 (ex Farnell) on the purely sentimental reason that their Australia operation is located in Chester Hill, NSW, which is the next suburb from where I grew up as a kid. But it seems like I make a lucky correct choice -- fast delivery. I ordered late one night, they shipped the next day, and the order arrived by Express Post the day after. They have free express postage for orders over (I think) $40. Much quicker than still waiting since July with RS. Skipping details, I ordered a few Pis while I could for a few projects that I won't really be able to work on fully until later this year, so I'd be glad to lend you one of my Pis while you're waiting for yours to arrive. Alternatively, I could set up one of my Pis at home for ssh access back through my ADSL connection. It wouldn't be fast, but you could at least try out some compiles and such. Anyway, I don't want to clutter the FSM list with too much Raspberry Pi traffic. Maybe we could shift to a Pi subgroup.
This is good news - at the very least a good step in the right direction.
Yes, modulo later comments by Chris. -- Smiles, Les.
