I was super excited about it but, now that I missed out on the first batch (yes I would have paid the $500), I'm not sure I'm going to buy it unless I can see there's a good community around it. The official forum is kind of dull. I don't have Facebook which, based on what 8-bit Guy has said, is the most active place for discussion, so I don't know how the vibe is over there.

If I do, it's going to be way down the line. Murray's been talking about kits and consolized versions, and lower prices, and I want to see where they go with with those. It's a cool idea, but I wasn't enough of a true believer to put my money on it at the beginning, and I'm content to keep waiting.
