Interfacing with Arduino is very cool. It is high on my list of things to play with (as time permits)

Hi Ben,

Now in case you ever need anything more industrial/powerful (but more

costly) here are a couple of things I have been kept a wishful eye on for a couple of years (but I have not yet had time to play with). I share this on the random chance someone gets interested in it before I get a chance to play - hopefully early next year.

Well, I don't think it's really fair to compare these computers with arduino :) but if you happen to play with one of those let us know your results. What I would like is to get my hands on a Raspberry Pi now.

Cheers, Richo
