Really?  I know I'm not as up to date as I used to be though.

Well they sure were!  Sorry to waste your very precious time Kossy 'ol boy.  I'll go back to my corner now.

Shouldn't you be preparing for black death?

Maybe.  The boss isn't sure what we are doing yet.  I may get to stay home this year.

12 PiS? Are they all being put to use or just sitting around? And as Kos said: /!OLD!/ :)

There needs to be a middle finger  (finger) that will have to do for now!

No, I only have two in use right now.  Some are going to be used for my whole house auto system when I stop being lazy and get it started.

Oi don't you middle finger me :P

Only 2 out of 12? You need to put more of them to use :) Saying that I have enough spare components to make about 10 Arduino boards.

Yeah I sure do.  I have plans for a bunch, I just need to get doing them!  I have a few Zigbee modules on the way that will use one or two.

I looked in two Asdas and neither had the magazine.

Ignore them, baby! (hug)

I read that other thread first and paid no heed to their waffle; there was no mention of a tiny $5 computer with a link to the official announcement, as was the case in your far superior and more appropriately named thread.

If I get one, it'll be thanks to you.

Have you seen the mapof where to buy the magazine? https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/how-to-get-magpi-40/

I had a look in the Tesco in Carmarthen this morning but couldn't see it. According to the map they should have had it.

I hadn't! There's a couple of places on my way home that might have it so I'll give them a go.

Good God!  Did you happen to take a look at all the options I have to choose from? :-&

About 8 hours.  It's pretty close to our US headquarters which is in Troy, MI.  I wonder if my boss would run around there a see if they had one for me?

I checked the local WHSmith earlier. The entire magazine area was full, except for a single empty slot between other Raspberry Pi and Linux magazines...

Have you seen the price these thongs are going for on eBay? Craziness.
