Very amusing satire. However, it is worthwhile to point out that even though RasPi Model A/B is "the size of a credit card" it won't fit in an Altoids box because it doesn't have rounded corners like a credit card. The BeagleBone does. Gerald Coley told me those rounded corners and mounting holes made BeagleBone placement and routing a real pain.

Very entertaining.

Yea, it makes you wonder what people were thinking about when they put this device out for purchase.

Still, nobody ever accused academians of making cost effective decisions.

The BBB is very well put together I like the fact you can use a battery to power it which is great for mobile devices!
