Universe does not want me to have toys

Drove up to Best Buy in Ithaca so I could test out netbooks, but after deciding that yes, I liked the ASUS EEE PC best, I was told that they were sold out. At least I was able to get fall shoes at Rasco's, so trip wasn't a total waste.

Then went to Target, which had also sold out of the EEE PCs. I could order online, but that's not the point. There's one more place I can try locally, but they won't be open till Tuesday. And, of course, now I'm wondering if this is a sign that I'm not meant to have one.
