For $35 plus shipping/handling/tariffs, it probably won't endanger your budget. ;-)

Next time you buy shoes ( or Pizza ) , don't trow the box away :-)

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 ...

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.

@nikkels: An electronic circuit board is not the same as pizza or shoes.

5:10 PM EDT 		@caitlyn, I'm sure you will. ;-) And the Sun desktop models were called "pizza boxes" for a reason.

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.

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.

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.
