Absolutely!! I'd also like to get my hands on 10 or 15 and put together a mini-cluster.

How did you get on the waiting list, incidentally? Or do you mean you joined the mailing list?

I went to one of the two distributors listed on the rasberrypi home page ( Raspberry Pi | An ARM GNU/Linux box for $25. Take a byte!) the day of the announcement and registered. RS Components | Electronic and Electrical Components is taking registrations, and will be selling in the order of received registrations as units arrive. They've had such a great response that they're limiting one per customer. Unfortunately, there's no indication of where I am on that list, so we sit back and wait.

I assume that Design Engineer Community | Online Electronic Resources and Support Homepage - element14 is doing a similar waiting list, but I randomly picked RS and went there. Today there is a bit more information about the two companies than there was the day of the announcement, but in the fullness of time I'm not sure it will matter much.
