I have been following all of these jeffgeerling.com posts - very interesting and informative and I appreciate all of this work he is doing.

However, I continue to be frustrated in actually procuring a compute module 4 of my own.

All of the suppliers are either out of stock or require an order of 200+. I recently placed an order for 2x CM4008032 from Digi-Key but it is on back order and who knows when it will actually ship.

Am I the only one having these problems procuring CM4 ?

If you have a local MicroCenter they often have rare-ish units. My local store has 1/32s in stock:

I was able to get one 1GB RAM / 32GB eMMC (no wireless) module last week at Micro Center.

And there are a few online retailers with such combos available, but only 1GB RAM.

I have had two open orders for 4 GB CM4 Lite modules (I like the Lite model because I don't need the eMMC for most projects) since October / launch day :(

... search for "pi compute module 4" in digikey. I see 5 different ones in stock now.

Also, Adafruit has this one in stock: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4791
