I got an order through yesterday, estimated delivery isn't until the middle of April though. On 1 March 2012 11:12, Peter Merchant madsmad...@netscape.net wrote: Anyone ordered one yet?

I just want to buy one at my nearest electronics shop. Until that day happens, they don't exist. -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday 2012-03-06 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread on mailing list: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue

This is a barebones PC which, at this stage, is intended as a development station. The Educational Kit isn't due out until August or so and even then someone will need to package the hardware to allow it to be used by 'normal' people. (I define normal people as anyone who isn't prepared to do any more than plug it in and switch it on before they can start writing programs.) I would predict the the 'early adopters' will either: 1. Have fun for a while and then lose interest. 2. Develop loads of FLOSS code for it and the thing will really take off (and not just in the educational world). I'm hoping for number 2 of course. -- Terry Coles 64 bit computing with Kubuntu Linux -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday 2012-03-06 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread on mailing list: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
