At Last its arrived

Hurray
The Raspberry Pi arrived from Farnell this morning 30th May 2012 - I only ordered it in December 2011 - its a bare board and its tiny - I can see this being embedded in loads of devices.
Nothing with it so will have to install from scratch.

Lets take a look at the board from front - assuming Raspberry Pi logo defines rotation of board - So on this side we can see the hdmi port.
