Maybe gus3 can add this to his Raspbian review :)

I will say that it looks like there is a lot of cool development for the Pi right now. |

I'm still working on the Raspbian review... |
| caitlyn Jul 22, 2012 3:47 PM EDT |
I'm looking forward to it. I'm seriously contemplating purchasing a Pi and a Pibow case. |
| gus3 Jul 22, 2012 6:09 PM EDT |
Get the Pi and play around with it. If you want to keep it, then get the Pibow. If not, sell it on eBay. For $35 plus shipping/handling/tariffs, it probably won't endanger your budget. ;-) |

I don't want a bare board without a box. That much I am sure of. |

The company that sells them to U.S. customers also offers an inexpensive case. I'm thinking of rolling one as a print server. |

Newark/Element 14. |

Quoting:Newark/Element 14. The link I had to buy in the U.S. wasn't as good -- thanks for this one. I'd feel a lot better if they upped the RAM to 512 MB or 1 GB ... |

256M sure beats the 128K in the original Macintosh... ;-) I finished the Raspbian review, read it over, and concluded that it's by far the worst tech article I've ever written. So, ask me again in a couple weeks. I'll start over, using the "official" Raspbian release from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. |

We'll hold you to that, gus :) @nikkels: An electronic circuit board is not the same as pizza or shoes. |
| gus3 Jul 26, 2012 5:10 PM EDT |
@caitlyn, I'm sure you will. ;-) And the Sun desktop models were called "pizza boxes" for a reason. |
| caitlyn Jul 26, 2012 8:22 PM EDT |
They were shaped like pizza boxes. They didn't contain food that would be gone quickly, or anything designed for quick consumption for that matter. |
| gus3 Jul 27, 2012 3:57 PM EDT |
@caitlyn, are you saying the Sparc processors were slow? And here I was all ready to sing the praises of load-store architecture. |
| caitlyn Jul 29, 2012 12:32 AM EDT |
@gus3: No, I didn't say or imply that. It wasn't true when the pizza boxes were new. Of course, by today's standards SPARC boxes are slow. |
