Get an iron with good reviews. A bad iron will make you think you can't solder and put you off doing anything else.

Well well well...

Hello Ben,

We wanted to let you know that you have been selected to receive one of our developer kits. We believe that you are capable of making great things and we want to help.
The delivery of the kit should occur in a few weeks and we’ll send you a tracking number as soon as it’s in our system.
In some cases, despite our allocation and our best efforts, we may be unable to deliver a kit due to customs and other export or shipping complications. We will let you know if this happens and we still welcome your participation in our program.

Thank you again for your interest and we can't wait to see what you will make!

They don't want you to make a bank deposit to show good faith, by any chance?

I honestly have no idea what I'll do with it if it does turn up!

On the downside, I can't remember what address I put down: if it's to my flat, that'll probably (hopefully) be sold by the time it arrives :(

:((

It still says this as the latest tracking update:
 
17:21 In transit   INDIANAPOLIS, IN

If I had it already I'd set it up to check the tracking status and automatically post to this thread if/when it changed.
