Envy... The problem with the RP is that a great many people who should know better are allowing hope (and hype) to triumph over experience. If the RP proposition was not so enticing would your really want to buy from an organization which has never made anything, been very 'economical' with the truth, obviously has no quality control or procedures etc etc. I don't want the RP to fail because the media have bought into it and if it fails then the whole electronic engineering profession gets egg on its face - not a good thing. On the other hand, I wouldn't bet much on ever seeing a fully working RP - the whole saga is so reminiscent of the disasters that overtook many of the early personal computer projects. (Nascom, Newbury etc). If I were betting I'd bet on the Olimex Pi-alike. A combination of experience and fury is hard to beat ! Michael Kellett
