Really bad launch (for someone in Portugal):

-The $25 PC (which kind of the main point of the project isn't even available).Model A wasn't up for sale

-Why "launching" it at 6 am for the domestic customers? (this wasn't even an official date, just a 'wink wink' get up at this time)

-Chosing distributors that won't even send to non business customers (Farnell only sends to business clients in Portugal, don't know how it is elsewhere, maybe someone who got to the ordering page knows).

-Not having direct links to the product

-Distributors sites always dead

-Not even knowing when it's up for sale on the RS site, some guy just phoned the company and knew more than the rasbperry guys

-Raspberry guys tweeting on how it's entirely the distributor's fault. Come on, you were the ones that chose them, maybe you could've programmed the launch a little better. Also really annoying reading stuff like "well we managed to keep our site up, which isn't true (it was down for a while) and unfair since they reverted to a static page, which the other sites can't do.


But maybe I'm just grumpy because I got up so early :P
