Anyone waiting on a Raspberry Pi?

[racrguy]

somebody explain in laymen terms(i.e. dumbass terms) what this raspberry pi thing is. I thought I was in the food section for a second upon reading pie

It's a really tiny computer.

FYI, it looks like they will go on sale at Midnight tomorrow night (0600 GMT). With the demand these things are gonna get, I wouldnt be surprised if they sell out in a few minutes.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation will be making a big (and very positive) announcement that just might interest you at 0600h GMT on Wednesday 29 February 2012. Come to www.raspberrypi.org to find out what’s going on.

On their front page, if you read their previous annoucements, they had been delayed due to some manufacturing issues, but all this had been straightened out. While they didnt necessarily say that the RPi was going on sale at that time, every indication is that that's exaclty what is happening (and none of the mods have denied the claims).

Ya they've said you'll be able to buy one of the first 10000 in February... cutting it a bit thin lol.
