[HH] Raspberry PI bits

[Tom Metro]

MCM Electronics (a division of Newark; used to sell mostly to TV and
stereo repair shops (any of those left), but is still a good source for
test equipment, car audio components, and general electronics hobby
stuff) is now selling the Raspberry PI:

  Rob Bishop is one of the Raspberry Pi Foundation's developers and a
  super-enthusiastic tech-evangelist type. He's volunteered to go visit
  a number of hackspaces in the US in a sort of Regency Grand Tour style
  (only with aeroplanes and a backpack full of computers) to spread the
  word about Raspberry Pi and to give some hands-on workshops to help
  kickstart your projects.

No MA locations on the list currently. Closest venue I see is NY.
