    That's cool.

    But it looks like some more improvements are required. As he said, graphic processing could be improved.

    Also, I think that even while typing, it looks like there is a delay for the next character to appear.

    Still in the Oven I think.

    I tried to get onto Farnell at 0600 GMT but just got a 'cannot connect', managed to get to RS at about 0610 and register interest so will have to wait and see. Apparently interest was so 'great' it brought the web sites down - according to the BBC.

    Re: Rasberry Pi

    I got the same as you (only later), in truth I think RS managed to keep going with its fob off 'register interest'.

    It does not look too powerful, but it does look like a lot of fun for the money. We are having pi cluster musings at our office.

    I don't think the power is of much importance bearing in mind the reason for it's existance - to get kids to be enthuastic about writing programs. (Like we were with the advent of the ZX80, Pet and 380Z)
