Re: [LUG] Anyone managed to grab a slice of Pi?

 

Got up at 05:50 to be ready to hit the sites at 6am but no luck
getting on to either RS or Farnell site despite desperate repeated
attempts brought on by occasionally getting a page to load only to
shortly time out.

So, went back to bed for a bit.

Just tried again on the Farnell site and managed to register and place
an order. How long before I actually get it, time will tell.

Good luck to anyone else trying to get one.
