What's a "hardware wallet"?

Do you mean paper wallet?

More peace of mind that your BTC will be safe with added convenience of setting how many BTC you want to withdraw by use of the Trezor device buttons.

I assume so... I would be interested in hearing the advantages/disadvantages of using a device like that compared to just using a raspberry pi. (much cheaper)

I heard of the raspberry. It costs only 20 buck or so.

But does it support alt currencies?  I emailed Trezor to ask them if their device supports alt currencies and they said yes.

Simply install linux and then a wallet for it. It's like a micro computer.

Linux netbook in a safe deposit box. Hasn't this method been around since the beginning?

Keep a deposit address handy and you're good to go without visiting the bank every time you need to add funds.
