As am I. People are talking about it like it's the first small form

It's the first at toy-level prices, perhaps. About
the Raspberry Pi in particular...I'm having a very hard time
getting excited about it. It's a neat board, to be sure, but it's only
the twentieth or thirtieth design just like it (and nobody got this
excited about its predecessors), and you can't actually GET one without
spending months on end on a waiting list.
I am a bit surprised by the sheer level of hype myself, Examples:
From this site:
So we make about the same, but yours will buy you
about 40-100% more
goods. *That* is a very big, real difference.
For what it's worth, the UK is not a particularly expensive country by
European standards. A cup of coffee in a caf? here might be ?1.50; in
Norway or Sweden, ?4 or so. A pint of beer in London is about
?3-?3.50; in Norway or Sweden, ?6-?7. There are cheaper countries than
here - a pint in the Czech Republic would be about 30-40p - but also
ones where everything is twice as expensive.
I can easily get a cup of coffee for 2 british pounds, even as little as
1 pound (this is a medium size swedish town.)
With a "wiener bread" it would be around 45 crowns 3.5 poundss or 5
euro.
The same thing smack in Gothenburg downtown would be i think around 70
crowns. Which is around 8 euro.
A pair of Lewis is a joke compared with the US (700 crowns around 80
euro)
