Devices with external stuff that can (either accidentally or not) be removed or exchanged by users are in all kinds of situations useless, as they dramatically decrease the robustness of the appliances and at the same time increase the support costs. This is not about developers that manage their own hardware, but about real-life appliances made with a Pi. So for me it's the first Pi that can really be used for some appliances, due to the built-in wifi. Still wondering why they stick to 100 Mbps Ethernet, as I think 1 Gbps is almost the same price these days. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
