the wireless keyboard/mouse kit is available at factory direct, I purchased it
for $16.00 at the time with a coupon,
the netgear N150 was 9.99 (no coupon required)
today I purchased two Tenda W311m wireless usb cards ( tiny, and on the list of
compatible wifi usb devices. ( same chipset as the W311u ) this was only 9.99
(with a printable coupon)
purchased two of those for my remaining raspberry pi's.
will run them headless, downloaded learn.adafruit.com raspi distro specially
formulated for hardware hacking ( I2C, ISP, Uart, GPIO) all enabled in
hardware. check it out.
awesome article on painting with light ( on the front page of
www.rasbperrypi.org :) really happy with these tenda w311m tiny usb sticks.
:) seem to work well with the wireless keyboard and mouse
kit mentioned abouve... the Genious Slimstar 8000 :) good times :)
so factory direct has em, call the store your closest too, if it says almost
out of stock, they can verify stock, and suggest a store where they have them :)
cheers. :)

I have three. Ordered 1 about 2 months ago, and then ordered two more
(before my first one arrived) about two weeks ago, and got them after about a
week.
For now I’m just getting comfortable with Linux and creating SD cards, and
fighting with powered USB hubs ( cyberpower, on the list or working ones ) but
still gives me grief depending on the time of day. And which ports I plug
things in… sometimes work great… other times… meh…
The following two wireless devices work great in the two built in usb ports no
powered hub required…
I have a good wireless usb interface: Netgear N150,
wireless keyboard/mouse combo: Genius Slimstar 8000 wireless mouse
Projects hoping to do:
Internet based treat dispenser that takes pictures and emails me a shot of my
dog enjoying the treat…
Got a simplified version working on arduino (no pics…) just dispense remotely
via UDP app on iphone.
May have them send temperature information to me from various points in the
house…
Messing around in general.
May just flash some L.E.D.’s with it. ☺

Hi,
Two new Raspberry Pi computers showed up at my door today! Anyone else have
one, and if so what are you doing with them?
I'm not a big Linux person, but I hear they're working on Android for it as
well...
Steve
