Newly arrived in the mail today! I received my first Raspberry Pi as I feel immediate guilt over the Tindie PIC boards I have waiting to be populated and explored. I look forward to loading up the OS and finding some to plug this into for video… my TV isn’t very practical for hacking away at hardware. I appreciated the low cost of the shipping from Adafruit but the items shipped in a soft pack and the box got somewhat crushed as view below. Maybe it’s a little retentive but I wish they would have shipped it in a small box. Nothing was functionally damaged of course so I can’t complain to much. I’ll spend the evening putting together the LCD interface it, Proto Plate, a little level converter for my BMP085 breakout board (Sparkfun) and The Pi Cobbler kit.
