Ja - not everyone is on Chrome. Sure, my browser does that too but it would not kill to resize.

Hehe... as would it not kill to right click, open image in a new tab. In fact, it's a heck of a lot easier. I know, I know, the curiosity was killing you, and the thought of having to click twice to see something you should be able to see without a click was too much to bear :p

Way too much to bear - it nearly killed me. It was like that time a kid rocked up at my door and called me dad, and I said to him:

"Ja, not everyone is wearing dome"

:D
 
Anyone else receive an email about the 3rd October that their Pi has been dispatched?

Still waiting for mine and have emailed these damn people twice already but am getting no response from them.

Ek raak nou al beVok vir die wag.

Where in heavens name have you ever come across paying for something and waiting damn well 4/5 months for your product.

Geez.

Their service is downright shoddy, especially as I expected more from a UK supplier.
I have had to email them about 3 or 4 times to get a response, not that it helped.

The problem is that they switched from delivery via courier to sending via normal mail. Per their email, expect a delivery period of +- 21 days.
If you haven't received yet, then mines is way down the track still - as they only shipped on 15 October.

I queried this with them, all they would say is that they switched delivery method to save us on custom duties - I was none too pleased as I had already been waiting for 3.5 months.
 
Post office sent notification last week monday (26 Nov) of the arrival of mine, after it was shipped on the 18th of October.

Now to get raspmbc onto it, as well as wifi and a means of controlling it all remotely...
 
They shipped mine on 10 October .. post office slip arrived Thursday 29 ... picked it up Saturday morning. I got the 256 MB model, as I missed the 512MB upgrade by 5 days :(
 
I installed OPenElec on my 256mb pi, so far its working a treat streaming from my server. Best Bonus was CEC working flawlessly and I can control the pi with my LG TV remote!!! \o/
 
Also w a i t i n g ! ! !
Ordered mine on the 2nd July and got a email on the 13th Nov saying 21 Working days.
At-least I'm getting the 512MB one (stated by the email).
Order number is 1010139xxx
So more w a i t i n g for me.
 
Is anybody using a usb wifi dongle that doesn't need a powered hub?
 
Anyone get theirs shipped last week. According to the site they were supposed to ship my batch number last week - I've heard nothing :(
 
Mine got shipped without notification. I knew because I coincidentally mailed them a couple of weeks later

From dispatch... It could be a bit more than 21 days, so don't stress...

For me, it was from 16 oct -> 07 dec, you do the math
 
I got my pi finally when i fetched it at the post office.....

Ordered my Pi on 6 July 2012 and fetched it @ the post office 1st December 2012


WOW what a delay... I did manage to get upgraded to the 512mb version. raspbmc works great on it......
