Dear Melinda Gates,

From mother to mother, I beg you...

Next time your husband releases a gaming console, please make sure that the supply is sufficient to meet the demand.

It is ridiculous for popular chains of department stores in well populated areas to receive less than 20 units.

My husband and his brother were up at the wee hours of the morning. At 3 AM, they were unable to find a single line in front of ANY store in the St. Louis area that had less people than the amount of consoles being sold at the stores.

Because of this, I awoke with the baby on his normal schedule and also awoke with my husband and his brother at 3 AM when they left and 5 AM when they returned.

I am now exhausted at work and angry at your husband for his and his team's lack of planning.

I can understand how great hype can be for marketing, but this is purely ridiculous.

Thank you for listening. Please help make the world less frustrating for us Moms and Wives of gamers.

Sincerely,
Caron Arnold

I have an old high school friend that works at the Gates Foundation. (done in my best Italian mobster voice) "You want I should make a call?"
Personally, I rather enjoy knowing that I'm 2 or 3 degrees of seperation from Bill Gates. That and a token will still get me a bus ride?! =)

Peace,
Gary D.
