But 1 network cable doesn't have the wow factor : )
Also definitely some moral there about sourcing parts.. : )

Because they could only get 1 out of 16 needed? LOL.

I had 2 on order, when they extended my promise date out to March I cancelled.

Demand is very high for the Zero. Please do not make the biggest mistake you can make in business, by doing a knee jerk ramp up of production. If the capacity can't cover the need, either ask people to wait, or raise the price. Performing emergency production increases is the quickest way to kill any profit margin you had. Especially if it means starting a new line or switching over a line from another product.

Since I really don't need one, I didn't mind cancelling my order. I would have just played with it to get exposure to it. Right after I hit the buy button though, I was a little bit bothered that I was spending $46 before shipping on two boards that were advertised at $5 each. I didn't need the bits that came with it. So it didn't bother me too much to cancel. One day they'll show up for the advertised price and I might get one then.

At these prices I may go order the kickstarter Pine 64 at $15 plus shipping! http://www.techvirals.com/2015/12/12/pine-a64-vs-raspberry-pi-vs-arduino-uno-which-diy-microcomputer-should-you-get/
What do you think?

Like this https://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/raspberry-pi-zero.html? A lot of price gouging. I got mine in MagPi for $15 plus tax. Sweet!

That's good, Clem. Unfortunately the closest B & N is like 75 miles away from me, so I wasn't able to get one. I don't know that I'm missing a whole lot though.

Maybe I should try selling my Zeros for £30 or something

No, seriously, setting up notifications from webshops like Pimoroni, PiHut, PiSupply, it's really not that hard to get some (in the EU).
