agonizing. It's now generally available, even locally, which is great.
Some have commented on the non-openness of some of the firmware bits in
the GPU and register-level docs of the ARM architecture, but by and
large, it was and still is, a great hit. Still making thousands a day.
The last quote was fun - sounds like some old CP/M machines hanging
around? :-)
"I would like there to be some engineers who got their start with the
Pi, who have a dusty old Pi in the attic that they will get down one day
to see if it still works and reminisce about it," Upton said.

Now I'm confused -- I sent the following reply to Bill's post about
the Pi .. but only the first line of the message was posted :-(<br>
<br>
Good thing I checked the list to confirm it got published (er:
auto-edited I guess) :-(<br>
<br>
Kevin had indicated he had problems earlier as well with receiving
postings - maybe we have an issue with the server?<br>

From an end-user perspective, the wait to get one after ordering
was agonizing. It's now generally available, even locally,
