Tell HN: Don't waste your money on a Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi forum is currently down on the day they start selling it- uh, I mean allowing you to again express interest in it, via a vendor this time, because they had to switch to a static site, and forgot to make the forum available: http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum

If you've spent much time on the forum, you've seen that it isn't all it is cracked up to be. You are spending £21.60 on caseless slow computer using ARM that has not been tested adequately in beta and that has to be hooked up via HDMI to be much good. So basically, it is a crappy, overly slow, wrong architecture, barebones media streaming computer. If you want to spend that much money, spend a little more and get a full system that is faster and more useful.
