[Lab] Raspberry Pi

Tue Sep 4 12:08:48 EDT 2012

Yeah, I got two when they first started shipping (mostly, by accident. I
signed up at both pre-order sites in the hope that I'd have twice the
chance of getting one, and they ended up both shipping me one). I have a
coworker who ordered one about a month ago and hasn't received it yet,
though.
