[Swansea Hackspace] Raspberry Pi Zero

Thu Nov 26 19:41:05 GMT 2015

It's a wash out!

WH Smith sold out almost as soon as they went in sale, despite what the website says about Asda, Sainsbury and Tesco, non of them have it on their systems, let alone their shelves.

Two copies of issue 40 have appeared on ebay (both currently over £21 ) in the last two hours, also a Pi Zero on its own currently at £7.50.

Raspberry Pi's Twitter feed has commented how they can't believe their issue 40 is on ebay.

This is complete Pi-demonium! as Emyr mentioned, most local newsagents should be able to get them, I've asked mine for a copy.

Ceri, I'll ask for a second copy the next time I'm up there.

No animals were harmed in the making of this email. However, several thousand electrons were severely inconvenienced.
