[kwlug-disc] Which vendor for Raspberry Pi kits?

[John Kerr]

Just for the record, I consider Toronto local (at least compared to some
place outside Ontario).
  $15.00 more, well charge yourself $10.00 an hour at least to travel to
Toronto, gas, parking etc. that $15.00 extra looks pretty good. But if you
are going to the big smoke anyway....

Cheers
John
