Sorry, I should have been more clear. I saw 3 ethernet ports on the back of the 4501. So I thought a 'net switch would be a way to get more of those ports at the location of the Pi. That's all. Don David J Taylor > From: Paul > [] > The Raspberry Pi wouldn't need a USB hub if they didn't reboot wh

$20 each is a fair price. I bet if someone here were to buy a lot of five (for less than $80) they could unload 3 or 4 of them here for $20 each shipped. I'd take one (at least) but have no use for five of them. The only good time-nut use of these is that some one has already figured out and doc

Newegg has a refurb'd netbook for $40 right now and new ones for $100. These are complete systems with LCD display, case and battery power with AC adaptor and still cheaper than a Pi or a Soekris. The reason to buy the pi, Ardurino, Launchpad or whatever is if you intend to "hack" the hardware.
