[Lab] Arduino Yun in Ottawa

[Jaime Yu]

I've ordered my Atmega256RF from Digikey and my my Raspberrys from Newark.
I haven't checked if Newarks/Digikey holds the other parts I need though.
Sparkfun's prices aren't bulk but they do hold a good amount of plug and
play items and I really don't feel like wasting time on this project. I
haven't gotten screwed by imports using Sparkfun. I very much dislike UPS
(unless I'm using the corporate account). I have a lot of bad experiences
with their ninja deliveries over the last 10 years. They had the balls to
hold and charge me for importing 0$ samples (long complicated story). But
that's the pain we have to suffer importing parts to Canada.
