Scratch

I know that people in the UK (and a few lucky people in the rest of the world) have their hands on an RPi, but I don't yet, because dad didn't wanna order until you can actually buy them (not preorder or get on the backorder mailing list). 

You people should follow @Raspberry_Pi on Twitter, so that you can get the info before I say it here weeks later. 

Bump.

Someone made it run Crysis xD

I just started looking for the RPi running Crysis, and at the bottom of the first search page, I found this topic! xD

I got mine a couple of weeks ago and had a bit of trouble with the keyboard (bought a cheapy one that wasn't compatible) but everything got sorted out.
My one annoyance about the Pi is that doesn't exactly have an intstruction manual and if you don't know how to use Linux (like me and my dad) you completely stuck.
My Brother-in-law is a computing student at university so he gave me some pointers. Also if you've got a pi it runs a lot faster if you disable the GUI.
Then he used it to access the university servers and get into one of the macs on the server and made it say stuff, for the fun of it.

I have fun, my Mac and I, talking 

Sadly the person didn't talk back, probably too shocked that his Mac just said it was Steve Jobs plus other stuff that isn't repeatable.

I have my Pi ordered, but it probably won't be in my hands until mid-August. 

It took 3 weeks for me to get mine from RS Components.

Sweet, tell us what it's like :3

I'm gonna get one too, with the classic "pay dad to buy something with the credit card of wonder" trick. 

WHY CAN'T TODAY BE THURSDAY!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? D:

Dude i try that all the time but it never works.. but any way I WANT ONE REALLY BAD

I've read about it and I'm interested in it, but mostly for the programming part of it (especially physical programming, I should get a bit more into that), rather than the fact it's a tiny computer that can run Linux.

What do you guys plan to use yours' for? 

Finally, I've got one.
I can control LED from RasPi by Scratch!

I haz a RPi now.    More pics soon.

(Also, sorry about the bad pic quality. My brother had to take them with his iPod because my camera's SD card was in the RPi (and his bad photography skills mean that the card isn't shown >.<).

  Just don't drop it :T

I won't 

About to flash the SD card with Raspbian....

3 watts is all this thing consumes?
It's like a phone charger!
