<t>I've got a question slightly related to this. I've checked my HTC mobile charger and it says 5V and 1A - I'm happy with that. The question is to do with the cable. This charger is one of those USB adapters that come with a separate USB/micro USB cable. I remember reading something about the c...

<t>@Smartybones: I don't think the OP bought anything else? I presume he means CC handling charge by "card charge"? Ben Nevis said: I got the option to buy at £24.95 + VAT +Delivery +card charge =near enough £50. @Ben Nevis: JamesH is right - you need to take this ...

<t>Casalor said: I've just rang Farnell to query the shipping date and have been told thats its more likely (although not certain) that it'll be the end of April even though I'd gotten the order in fairly early (8:03 am). Quite a jump from 12th March to the end of the fo...

There are means and mechanisms to reasonably accurately determine demand but the Foundation chose not to use them.

Such as?

@mrbill - I posted while you were posting. Did you really forsee millions of people trying to buy a Pi? I think if there had been 10,000 people trying to buy, or even 100,000 or 200,000 then the two distributors would've stood up to the load without a problem.

Tass

<t>On the topic of hindsight, everyone keeps saying this should have been anticipated. Lets look at the numbers. 100,000 people registered on the Raspberry Pi mailing list. Lets say there were another 100,000 reading the forums, not registering but still planning on ordering. Lets thro...

W/C 12th March

Tass

Thanks - found it. My exact time is 19:33:46, same as everyone else in that batch it would seem

Tass

Unfortunately not - gmail doesn"t show seconds. I"ll forward to an outlook account and see if I can digg it out.

Tass

I registered with DS at about 06:03 (I think - it was all a blur!)

I received my confirmation email from them 1 March 2012 19:33

Looks like they might be sending out emails in batches?

<t>I"d agree with Walney - a credit payment cars sounds like a good idea. Younger bit doing up for any credit arrangement, you don"t get any credit, it doesn"t touch your credit rating - it"s simply a pre-paid card with a credit card interface, amass this is simply so that it will be accepted online...

Tass

<t>Does it really matter? The foundation CERTAINLY isn"t making any money selling the Pi at this price and anything they might make is going straight back in. Is there anything that you might find out that would prevent you from buying a Pi? The way the foundation operate is up to them really, and t...

<t>I won"t cancel my order, but will pass my 2nd unit on to someone else I know with only a pre-order in exchange for their unit when it arrives. I"d definitely like 2 units, but happy to wait for the 2nd/3rd batch. EDIT: *technically*, if I didn"t know anyone with a Pi on back-order, yes...

Tass

My initial order (7AM on the 29th) had a total of £31.86, but if I try order again (I'm not actually trying to order another one - was finding the link to post ), it gives me a total of £29.46, so for me the price had dropped in the last few days!

I"m a "have" - 12th March (sorry, don"t mean to rub it in ) - I"ll be blogging my first experiences and am happy to help out with anything you need.

Looks like we knocked them far a 6!

Any news on the Fedora image?

Tass

Regardless of whether you receive the email or not you'll still be able to buy.

If they go on sale tomorrow, that it

Tass

37 minutes.

Tass

I"m not too bothered as I"m all geared up, but there could be some pissed off people tomorrow!!

But hey - this probably increases my chances from 1 in 8 to 1 in 5!
