[Ql-Users] Raspberry Pi Book

It's not even out yet, but is already the best selling book in Computers 
and number 56 in all books on Amazon.

Using the above link will cause Amazon to pay additional money to the 
Raspberry Pi Foundation - which is a charity.


You can read a bit about the book here

Re: [Ql-Users] Raspberry Pi Alternative

2012-06-30 Thread John Alexander 
I have heard the opposite from other sources, but I think that any company who 
has so many distributors who also call them selves Olimex 
will attract the stench of any bad distributors.

For me it's nice to see so many embedded linux boards coming through at 
reasonable price but in practice the 64 MB of RAM and a few other things will 
make this an evolutionary backwater with the RPi finally coming through(slowly) 
. If you are in the business of getting an emulator working then get it working 
on one platform then move on from there not flutter about and get nothing 
working entirely satisfactory.

The Olimex could be useful for some embedded apps though!

This is a Bulgarian company that has, shall we say, very poor customer
relations?
