    I can't recall ever seeing one at all, ever.

    All Pi zeros seem to be sold out. I expect they are starting fires all
    over Russia... :-)

    Searching by SKU (SC0019) found them, and Rapid Electronics have stock


    Bugger me. They do exist!

    Must have not found out about this one:

    <https://www.kiwi-electronics.com/nl/raspberry-pi-boards-behuizingen-uitbreidingen-en-accessoires-59/raspberry-pi-zero-versie-1-3-2840>
    I was limiting myself to UK suppliers, one is now winging its way to me,
    I still maintain that without the SKU, its not very searchable,
    everything tends to return zeroW or zero2W.

    Well yes, as I said I had no idea such a beast existed.

    TBH the couple of extra quid for the wifi doesn't bother me much

    Yes. In tjeh Great Changeover when people were arguing their tits poof
    about 64 bit versos 32 bit. I just installed 64 bit because I could.
    I noticed no significant difference is speed, memory usage or disk space.

    Some graphics heavy shit was a bit faster

    You cant really run a GUI on a Zero, once you get rid of that its got
    bags of RAM for a dedicated application, 32 or 64 bit
    e.g.
    $ free -m
    total used free shared
    buff/cache available
    Mem: 429 62 146 34 220
    278
    Swap: 99 0 99
