   True... one would just be grateful to any crew that was restoring the   
   power.... :)   
      
    NB>> have to keep your eyes open for the new stock to arrive, I guess

   Sounds crazy, but I have no trouble at all believing it.... Widespread   
   outage, and suddenly everybody and his brother needs it yesterday... and   
   it doesn't take long before the suppliers are out of stock as well...   
      
    NB>> You might get a better price waiting until summer   
      
    MK> That is what I am hoping for but I don't think they go on sale all

    MK> We'll see ... as if we have a choice.    
      
   I was more thinking that there wouldn't be any inflated prices when the   
   need wasn't so critical... but yes, there might be some sort of sale if   
   there were new models coming in.... Probably would depend on how high   
   the demand was still, come summer...  :)   
      
    MK> Speaking of Raspberry Pi's, note this message is from the upgraded

   Yes, I do note that...  :)   
      
   ttyl       neb   
      
   ... Reality is the leading cause of stress amongst those in touch with it.
