I was at the Seneca College open source conference in the fall and saw it
there. I'm going to go for it as well in a few months. Definitely a neat little
board. Surprisingly the folks from Broadcom were involved in it!
I *THINK* these are the guys working on the OS:

.."inspiring “a whole new Commodore 64 generation.”"..."there are going
to be people who use them for programming, as a gaming machine, as a media
planner, as a utility machine.”"..."but is designed to be plugged into a
TV."..."And people already have a high value expensive piece of electronic
equipment, a television, in their homes they can use for display.”"..."The
Model A, which has also been reworked to include 256 megabytes of RAM, “will go
into production immediately.”"
It's Deja-Vu!! LOL...
..'might be worth holding off too until they setup the upgrades they
mentioned...

I was about to email the group with a link to the new Raspberry Pi
single-board computer.
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:

Pretty 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.
