Right on - can the Pi 3 not yet boot via USB? I thought they all caught up to that noise... I keep mentioning to anyone in need, I have a few Pi 4s... not that I want to get rid of any, but if anyone REALLY needs one just lemme know...

I can't wait for the next series to come out - but I don't think they're itching to release the Pi 5 anytime soon... I think between all the corporate purchases and end-users that can't find Pi's they just want to get the Pi 4 in stock. 

I've been wanting a Pi Zero2W so bad - and I just can't find one anywhere... I'd love to trade, if anyone has a Pi Zero2W. :P
