OK, so here's a text-only non-mime version of the posting ...
something's gotta give here :-)

hopefully it will post the full text of the message ... otherwise, we'll
try the old-APL way -- make the message one long line on the subject
line :-)

Interesting read.

From an end-user perspective, the wait to get one after ordering was
agonizing.  It's now generally available, even locally, which is great.

Some have commented on the non-openness of some of the firmware bits in
the GPU and register-level docs of the ARM architecture, but by and
large, it was and still is, a great hit.  Still making thousands a day.

The last quote was fun - sounds like some old CP/M machines hanging
around? :-)

"I would like there to be some engineers who got their start with the
Pi, who have a dusty old Pi in the attic that they will get down one day
to see if it still works and reminisce about it," Upton said.
