[LUG] Rasperry Pi De Ja Vue

[Tom Brough <tombrough@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I give a little chuckle with all this panic buying of Raspberry Pi. It 
reminds me of the early 80's waiting for the BBC Micro to arrive. Of 
course in those days there was no internet or even email to keep us 
informed of progress. I think I will wait for the panic to die down and 
for the production problems to be ironed out ... as an early BBC owner I 
learnt the lessons about first generation production boards.....

I hope Rasperry Pi does manage to achieve what it set out to do. The 
hardware spec doesn't worry me, we all know the software is solid and 
can be tweaked but what concerns me is will there be sufficient course 
ware and education material and will it capture the imagination of kids 
... or will they just go back to playing games on their play station 
Xbox's and Wii's ?
