A Lot of TO-DO About the Launch of  

Raspberry PI...


No...Not This One !!!



THIS ONE !!!




Raspberry Pi Retailers 

Toppled by Demand as
  
$35 Linux Computer Launches



The Raspberry Pi Foundation Apologized for the Launch Problems on Twitter


The Raspberry Pi foundation attempted to launch its $35 Linux computer on Tuesday evening, but the organization's retail partners couldn't cope with the massive demand. Two British electronic component distributors that intended to sell the product were unable to do so--their websites went down, succumbing to the stampede of eager enthusiasts who sought to purchase the hotly-anticipated system.





The product is a bare board with a 700MHz ARM11 CPU and 256MB of RAM. It's roughly the size of a deck of playing cards and has a powerful GPU that is reportedly competitive with that of modern smartphones. Developer prototypes of the product have been shown running impressive graphics demos and decoding high-definition video.   


235 Characters makes the Wingman Very Angry Too !!!

Turn to a specialist tool, though, and it’s a very different story. WinISO in particular is one of the most powerful image management packages around, providing everything you need to create, open, edit, extract, convert and otherwise work with a variety of CD, DVD and Blu-ray disc image formats. And while it’s normally priced at $29.95, this Wednesday you can obtain a full copy of your own for no charge at all.

If WinISO sounds like the kind of tool you need, then head along to the Downloadcrew Giveaway site any time between 00:00 and 23:59 (Central European Time) on Wednesday February 29th to get your copy (Americans can start their downloads at 6 pm ET on February 28 -- lucky you!). But please note that download itself is just the 30-day trial. You must also create a free account if you don’t have one already, log in and click “Get serial code” to obtain the license that will turn the trial into a full version.
