FYI: At about 1:30pm EST I received a notice from
RS/Newark that they were
accepting orders for the RPi in the US. Within 1/2 hour their server was
down. And, no, I didn't make it. Got as far as setting up the shopping
basket and went bye, bye.
Methinks they may have received a lot of responses.
The site returned to life a bit later in the day and I was able to
successfully order (2) units. $35 each, plus state sales tax and about $6
shipping. Not too bad.
Delivery schedule is "late August", but I'm not holding my breath.
