[sdiy] this chip shortage thing is crazy...

[Tom Bugs]

Yup - there I was thinking it was just the uPs etc. so not too much of a 
worry for me.. so I thought.
I was also somewhat reckoning that the parts I tend to use wouldn't be 
of much interest to the main electronics players (but then I guess if 
the chips weren't widely required they wouldn't have been kept in 
production)
Definitely now feeling it on multiple fronts - chips especially, but 
also many other bits & pieces (presumably more from COVID backups) - 
each order seems to have several frantic scrabbling-arounds to find 
replacements.

Depressingly detailed overview from Paul S - thanks [I guess :( ]
