Good news: RAM will be a non-issue soon

Bad news: This is because we will not get new boards

I got the following news from the supply chain:

All (and I mean ALL) of our PCB subcontractors have turned around and told us minimum 1 year lead time on boards now. Apparently there's no Helium or Neon so they cant make FR4

FR4 is what all boards is made from.

So who cares if you cant get RAM - there's no PCBs to put it on ...

UPDATE: I don't think helium is the problem but PE Resind (polyphenylene ether). Neon may be a problem because it is required for the UV lasers.
