Entirely different topic, but thinking about how many people got all hyped about the first pi and then realized it was just a very slow PC and not something full of magic is depressing. There must be a huge amount of pis that ended up in some drawer after a few weeks, and because it's cheap it was never worth it to sell it. And if you wanted one it was so cheap that it was more convenient to order a new one than to deal with private sellers on Craigslist just to save five bucks. It would be great if we could repurpose all of them in some halfway meaningful way, but at lest for commercial products it's just not feasible.
