[Lab] Raspberry Pi

[Marinus Swanepoel]

Is it possible to do a group order? From their FAQ page:

How many can I buy in one go?
> For the first batch we are limiting orders to one per person. This
> restriction will be relaxed as production gets in to full swing, and we can
> be sure of getting boards to all who want them. This should prevent eBay
> scalping (to some extent – we will also be auctioning some boards ourselves
> to try to make sure there’s no market for scalpers), and ensure that as
> many different individuals as possible get their Raspberry Pi!


If yes, I'm in for one (preferably a Model B -- the one with Ethernet).
