We&#8217;ve been kicking the idea around for a few weeks now about maybe doing that as part of a joint gift to each other. We decided against that in the end, but just this morning we tallied up birthday money, Christmas money, gift cards and the like and discovered we have enough money! Unfortunately for us, everybody around town is sold out. We&#8217;ve tried neighbouring towns and online stores, but to no avail. Not that anybody out there really cares :).<\/p>\n<p>What I wonder is why this problem seems to happen in the first place.

It also seems that if they had enough systems produced so that everybody who wanted one could get one they&#8217;d have made more profit, too. And isn&#8217;t that the point of making it in the first place?
