Still waiting for Raspberry Pi

This wait is killing me. All I want is a nice little computer running quietly on my desk/ceiling/wall/whatever with all kinds of specialized sw/hw.

• I want my very own shell.
• I want a portable thin client.
• I want remote controlled lighting.
• I want Nginx and Stackless Python.
• I want a battery backup using 18650s or capacitors.
• I want to use those temperature sensors I have in my drawer!

But as far as I know my luck, there'll be some kind of obstacle preventing me from acquiring this wonderful piece of equipment, or at least greatly hinder my plans. Still missing a video adapter, a quality power source and a memory card. Oh, and my network infrastructure is bit lacking, too.. but on that some other post.
