I've recently picked up a bunch of E02-rev gray/black Pogoplugs with the
1.2Ghz Kirkwood and 256M RAM for less than $30 each new, got my Raspberry
Pi tracking number a couple days ago, and ordered a Mele A2000 (different
case, more RAM, same proc/SoC as the A1000) about a week ago.  Gonna have a
small pile of ARM boxes here in a couple of weeks. 8-)
