Hey folks

Haven't been on here much lately, work has basically consumed most of my free
time since returning this year, so I have a lot of messages to catch up on
(late night reading)...

So where I work, we use Raspberry Pi 4's (usually 2GB models) for our 3CX SBC
deployments where the 3CX appliance is hosted (not on-premise). They work
amazingly well for this.

Personally, I use them at home for various projects (4GB models), and have
some upcoming projects that will require some more (later this year / by mid
next year).

This last I reckon two months I have not been able to source a replacement
RPi4 AT ALL!! I actually surrendered my only RPi4 (2GB) from my 3D printer
for my most recent 3CX SBC, with the intention to replace it with a 4GB
model. 

That that I need to buy a 4GB model for the printer - I simply cannot get one
for less than $250 AUD. At work, I need another 2GB model, and guess, what -
can't get them either... In fact, I can't buy ANY RPi4's of any RAM capacity
in the model 'B' form factor...

So... My question here (mainly for the AU folks) - do you know of any
reputable places to buy these at the moment that aren't stupidly priced???

Thanks...
