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.
