Waste of time

Not shipping enough product to meet customer demand is hardly an Apple exclusive problem. Ever buy a new game console?

Laser eye surgery rocks! I love frickin' laser beams.

Doesn't that happen every fall - Thanksgiving PS-3/Wii, etc.
Supply and demand... Cap the supply to keep demand high.

That makes no sense what so ever. Here in the bay area Wii's still last 5sec on the shelf before they are snatched up by profiteers putting them on ebay/craigslist. I still want/would buy a Wii if I saw it on the shelf. I refuse to pay some scumbags mark up to get one though.

I would think an abundant supply would lead to impulse and regular sales.

Since I stood in line for 4 hours today and came up empty handed I'm pissed. I prob will wait a month or so before I step back into a store looking for one. Of course by then there maybe something better that catches my eye or gets my money.
