    Did anyone get their Raspberry Pi board yet?

    I received a second Raspberry Pi board in the mail today. I'm happy to sell it to anyone for my cost. PM me if interested. I guess I got in two different queues for this. (Apologies if this is inappropriate for this forum.)

    I'm in Colorado - just lucky I guess.

    $25/$35 Mini-PC Available Next Month - ARM based

    I'm sure you can find cheap used PC's that do much more for the price than the RPi, but I think the attraction for this is the hobbyist community growing around it with lots of add-on components and interesting projects.

    Did anyone get their Raspberry Pi board yet?

    I have mine up and running Debian Linux. Only problem I ran into was that it wouldn't boot with the first keyboard I tried - had to switch to an older MS keyboard. I posted details in the Hot Deals forum.

    Book of Mormon Cast Album MP3 download $1.99

    Well it's a bargain and I bought it. The lyrics are funny and semi-obscene but it's pretty hard to make sense of the story without having seen the show.

    Get five Ashampoo software downloads for free

    Downloaded Ashampoo® WinOptimizer 6 - wanted to install a browser toolbar and bunch of other junk. Ran it and said I got the 10-day free trial. Probably not a hot deal.

    *DEAD* Two Dozen Roses + Vase + Chocolates for $31 shipped

    So I added a $10 vase to qualify, but the order total came in at $55.45 even though I selected May 7 delivery. There's some sort of shipping rebate, but I didn't like the looks of that. Oh well, nice try!

    mobiBLU MP3 player, 512 to 2GB, $90 to $130.

    I think $130 (+$8 shipping) is a pretty good deal for an excellent 2G MP3 player. The 150 hour batterry life is a nice extra touch. BTW, this is not a cube player, the screen is great and the sound quality to my ears is quite good. See http://www.mobibluamerica.com/b153.html for details. I...

    mobiBLU MP3 player, 512 to 2GB, $90 to $130.

    I received my B153 player today (6 days after the order was placed) and it seems pretty good so far. Too soon to tell about battery life, but it sounds excellent (which was my primary concern based on one of the reviews referenced above). It's a bit heavier than I expected, compared to my old...

    mobiBLU MP3 player, 512 to 2GB, $90 to $130.

    Well, I went ahead and ordered the 2G model. It just seemed too good to pass up. I couldn't find it listed at any of the usual sources (amazon, buy.com, froogle, etc.), so I'm a bit worried. The cnet-uk review is troubling since it sounds like the audio quality may be poor, but I listen to a lot...

    *HOT* FireFly Complete Series for $19.96

    Great series! It was a damn shame how hard it was to find when first broadcast so it couldn't build much of an audience. I just hope that it gets another chance somehow. Meanwhile, It did get in on the $20 deal and now have it at home to enjoy. Thanks to the original poster.

    FREE Divx Create Bundle - Today Only.

    Got it, but damnifiknow what to do with it. It converts an avi file to a divx file, but what do you do with a divx file? I doubt if it would be recognized by my DVD player (which does play mpg's).

    Monitor Rear-View Mirror $.49/each + Shipping When You Buy 3+!!!

    Clueless! The point is not to hide what you're doing, but to know someone is waiting to talk to you. Lots of people wher I work put a reflective CD up near the monitor. Since just about everyone uses headphones to cut out all the noise, a CD or mirror is the only way to know someone's there...

    TONIGHTS WOOT!! BOC!!! If you don't know what it is.. check it out!!

    While I don't want to encourage any more BOC competition, my last one included a nice laptop bag, a John Wayne DVD, a flying monkey (a stuffed monkey on an elastic band that made a funny screaming noise when launched), and a neat paper holder. All for $3 + $5 shipping. A good deal, but the...

    10 day meditation retreats - no charges to attend

    I spent a day at a meditation retreat last fall and while I found the morning session interesting and useful, by the end of the day I was bored and restless, not to mention cramped from all the sitting. 10 days of this seems like a huge amount and I can't imagine making that big a committment...

    Napster:Round 2:FIGHT! New Pricing structure allows unlimited donwloads for a $14.99/mth

    Follow-up: I received my H10 today -- excellent delivery service! I'm very happy with the deal on this and thanks to whoever posted this first. FWIW, I'm less than thrilled with what I've seen so far from Napster. Their music selections are extremely limited and mostly they seem to be trying...

    Napster:Round 2:FIGHT! New Pricing structure allows unlimited donwloads for a $14.99/mth

    Just ordered it. It's an incredibly good deal on the Iriver H10 ($100 off discount price), which has a color display for jpegs, 5G, FM, etc.. The year of Napster (which I'll almost certainly cancel at the end) is just an added bonus. Note that the Napster service only works with Windows XP...
