since i already know a few folks who wanted one, i ordered 8 BBBs, i should have them by friday so if you want one, let me know. in addition to the base BBB (which comes with the USB cable to tether it to a PC), i ordered a bunch of the acrylic cases and USB Mini-B Serial UARTs, both of which you can see here: https://specialcomp.com/beaglebone/ everything else you might want (microHDMI-HDMI cable, 5VDC power adapter) can be found easily here in town, so i'd prefer to sell, as a unit, the collection of: * BBB * acrylic case * serial UART (for which there will be a hole cut in the case) i'll have the final cost shortly, it will be exactly my cost with shipping costs divided over all of the units. let me know if you want one, first come, first served. rday p.s. i plan on revamping my embedded linux courses to teach off of a roomful of BBBs, so i've already started documenting the heck out of it here: http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/BeagleBone_Black this means that you should have little trouble getting your BBB up and running, as i've seen most of the issues people have mentioned on the beagle mailing list and most of them are, in fact, user error. :-) -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
