I stayed up until 1:30AM ET (6AM GMT) in the US trying in vain to get one. I registered interest on the RS site but am not holding my breath on this batch. I was hoping they would have done a little more infrastructure work to decrease the odds of meltdowns on the sites. That said, I'll be able to get one eventually and am very excited to try it out. I am however exhausted this morning here in the US!
Please let us know what you think once you get yours! Best, Dylan On Wed, Feb 29, 2012 at 7:58 AM, Quixotic Nixotic <[email protected]>wrote: > So who managed to get a Raspberry Pi today?
