Raspberry PI

Post by ayu »

Life is unfair :(

I waited for so long for the Raspberry PI to be release, and even set my alarm clock today so that I could get up in time to order one.
But it turns out, that 100000000000000000000000000 other geeks did the same damn thing, and we all crashed the website where you order, and now, they are all sold out

Dear God just throw me into the pits of fire right now would you? >=(

I'll order one too when they're more readily available. What are you planning to do with yours?

Yeah it sucks.

They really underestimated demand.

What similar devices are there out there?

I plan to use mine as a HTPC.

Can anyone direct me to where i can purchase these from in more than one unit or someone i can talk to about using these in our schools network in Indonesia. I have been to the contact page and used the email available to no avail.

Finding one in stock is proving to be more difficult, sure they said end of march

These are perfect, great price too.

I'm still waiting for this as well, not to mention I'll be paying slightly more to get mine to the states (still worth it though).

I'm waiting for them to be readily available, I get e-mail updates from RS Online too, but when they're available I'm looking to get a few of them.

2 to be used soley as retro gaming/small media platforms for myself and one for my brother.

And another few so that I have a small-scale hardware environment for distributed computing.

Hell yeah, this would be massive to us and would help with the potential we have of really making a difference out here. My friend has gone now to meet the Indonesian Board of Energy now to see if we can start implementing some of our free energy projects, things are moving that fast for us out here, will know by the end of the week whether the government will help fund this for us, either way im ready to launch a video this week and the story so far and see if i can raise it myself, im here to make this work and im not leaving till its done.

Wow, man cant believe it still, thanks man *thumb*
