That would be a nice Christmas gift.
I hope you don't have to return it because it is faulty. I know someone who waited ages and then had to send it back, and it wasn't even an early revision that one might have expected to have had issues. I think the Raspberry Pi initiative is a worthy one, at least regarding its educational goals, if a little misguided, as whitequark's blog pointed out a while back... http://whitequark.org/blog/2012/09/25/why-raspberry-pi-is-unsuitable-for-education/ ...but the fulfillment of orders and the distribution arrangements have been abysmally poor. > I have plans to link it to the Nanonote--only time will tell how that > goes.
