Someone will have to explain to me why this is interesting.......

Interest is in the mind of the beholder. To me it's interesting ... but not as interesting as the £22 networked version.

You only have to check other one-board-computers such as the Arduino and what people are doing with them.

The hardware is now cheap enough that you can dedicate a whole computer to looking after the temperature of your tea pot.

Just to revive the thread..

The first 10 are now on ebay, auctioning for charity

Try a cool 3.5k for a 19 quid computer..!!

Thats got to be the strangest thing ever.. all in a good cause admittedly..and from a pukka seller.... but 3.5k for a 20 quid circuitboard... Seller has zero feedback.

People are strange...

The 3.5k was without postage.
