Mike's Law of Too-Cheap Computers
Editor’s Note: This draft post was discovered tonight. It was probably written in 2012.
The announcement of any suitably cheap computer will always generate intense demand. However, their actual availability will be delayed until the point where they cease to be suitably cheap. Examples: the $100 OLPC. The original $399 Eee PC. By the time either was purchasable through normal channels, either the price had risen or competitors offered comparable or better values, such that their pricing was no longer interesting.
Will the Raspberry Pi break this rule?
