At a mere $35 with plenty of power, it's ideal for hobbyists, and the parallels with the Commodore 64 are obvious. However, someone at the Toronto Star has made the same observation: http://www.thestar.com/business/article/1138709--35-computer-with-toronto-designed-software-sells-out-worldwide-in-minutes?bn=1Pretty cool, didn't know the OS was developed here in Toronto at Seneca College.
Here are the project links. Any thoughts? I'll probably buy one once the furor dies down. http://www.raspberrypi.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi Cheers -Leif -- Leif Bloomquist leif@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.schemafactor.com “What's in the way is the way.” - Lao Tzu
