[Beowulf] A cluster of Arduinos

[Vincent Diepeveen]

Very simple,

Wooden tennis rackets were dirt cheap in 90s.
No one bought them.

Instead they all bought for the tennis court a light frame racket  
with big blade;
in fact those were pretty expensive in some cases.

Why did no one use suddenly those wooden rackets anymore?

How many people watch upcoming Australian Grandslam?

A lot.

How many will watch 1 or 2 dudes toy with a few embedded processors  
using
a language no one has heard of? Only a handful.
