My Raspberry Pi just arrived. Now to start going from room to room in the house stealing things like a TV, cables, etc.
Did you buy an overclock kit?, i.e., case with fan and 3 heatsinks? My fan burned up after about a year and I replaced it. Shortly thereafter I decommissioned the pi - needed to accommodate a larger desktop. Wish the PIs were available when I was a kid.

Nope, didn't order the overclock kit. I figured I had enough parts laying around. The problem is I didn't know just exactly how small that dang chip is, lol. I'll throw some on the next order.
Five minutes after finishing the install routine I was convinced I would be ordering more for several projects I have in mind. Those little jewels are going to save me a ton of money on ham radio projects.
As for you, Mr. Hewson...I respectfully submit to you that one can never have enough pi! I'm going to copy your post and send it to my room mate, who is blind. He uses a software reader that while it sounds like a real voice, is close to monotone. Your "audition" post should sound hilarious. I'll hear him in the back room cackling as it reads.

As luck would have it I am a Kindle fan - a Kindle Fire to be exact. It can read to you for most formats ! However if it's a math text, say, it will not speak the formulae and symbols and otherwise embedded graphics. Never mind, it is a pleasant feature. I do have an iPad ( one ) for which I think has a mutated frog embedded for that purpose.

Mikey : Foley Catheters! For the indecisive
err, simply read the script cards please
Mikey : Can you walk the Foley Walk ?

Mikey : For over 100 years people have trusted Foley's for their plumbing needs.

Cheers, Mike.
