Not to forget: they all have day jobs. People have been worrying for ages about how Raspberry Pi will deal with the demand and get out of a process of making batches, having them sell out instantly and then using that capital to build the next batch. Eben talks about why the RS and Farnell partnership is a big deal and will help to solve that problem in this video interview:

- jacquesm 15y agoIndeed. Just to put into perspective what a huge event this launch was: for a short while (about 10 minutes) the RasberryPi outsold the iPhone 4:1. Of course, Apple moves 250 iphones per minute all the time but there was absolutely no way that a small outfit like this could have anticipated and/or met this insane surge of demand. I sure hope it validates the concept to everybody that was still doubting and I hope that we'll soon be able to mark the 100K, 1M and up milestones of units sold.
