    It's very exciting!  All around me I hear "Rapberry Pi".  You know I bought one.  :-)  I can tell you, it's been a real experience and I'm glad to be a part of it.

    I guess I figured it out. Go to the normal site (like the link listed above) and when checking out hit "Ship Order Complete" on the "Backorder Preferences". That should negate the $20 fee.

    I just pre-ordered mine from this website as well.

    http://www.newark.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?id=83T1943&Ntt=83T1943

     

     

    Actually I order 2 of them and the order did not stop me from placing the order. In addition, the email of the sent to me has NO Shipping cost or Handling cost or Taxes. It did mention the ship date as 30-March-2012. So I am not sure what other users are complaining about $20 S/H fee. Need to wait and see what they will charge me.

    I missed out by just a few - though would have been OK with the $20 shipping.  Just glad that this isn't happening so now I will order an extra for my projects!
