I came across an article that I thought was interesting and thought I
would pass it on:
http://www.economist.com/news/science-and-technology/21643461-radio-shack-lost-its-way-when-it-ditched-its-hobbyist-customers-making-it

It discusses a lot of topics that have come across this mailing list over
the last several months such as the Raspberry Pi and the evolution of
hobbyist electronics.

It also provides a trip down memory lane for middle age folks such as
myself that got their first computer, a Commodore 64, back when their age
was in the single digits, talking about the Altair, the Z80, and green
screen monitors.
