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.
