I kinda agree with this sentiment. But why whine? Call BitSyncom, ask what MOSFETs and inductors he needs, raid the nearest RadioShack and Fry's and negotiate with him an exchange of components for finished product. If needed fly them himself to China in carry-in luggage. Arrange to get completed Avalons smuggled out of China through Vietnam or Mongolia. Even if you can't do any of the above, discuss the scheme with other users of this forum. Maybe someone will do it?

Otherwise you run the risk that your highest point of involvement in the Bitcoin experiment will be "I hit the Ignore button on one college educated know it all with not a single callus on his hands because he was disrespectfull to the new user with a reasonable post". Even your own grandchildren will snicker at that, they will prefer to listen to the stories of an antique wood dealer.

But please don't whine.
