TI Still Selling MSP430 Dev Kit for $4.30!

I was pleasantly surprised to see Texas Instruments is still selling their MSP430 LaunchPad dev kit (part of their "value line") for $4.30 (plus shipping).  Great way to affordably tinker around with a handy 16-bit microcontroller, and it comes with Code Composer Studio, a decent (well, for the bit I've tinkered with mine, it seems decent) IDE, too, for creating, compiling, and debugging.  I believe there's also a free version of an IAR IDE available, but I haven't tried it.

Now if I could just get a Rapsberry Pi distributors to sell me a model B board...
