He's agreed to deliver end of July when he re-visits Chicagoland. -YendorMike "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania
Post #260,419 by bepatient 6/29/06 12:50:49 PM Reply	Can do, but will ship direct to you also whatever you want...as you are forever deemed "lifesaver" to my (now throughly backed up) music collection. If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. _{Fudd's First Law of Opposition} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]
Post #260,424 by Yendor 6/29/06 1:06:02 PM Reply	After the fiasco... ...I'm not sure I trust shipping, y'know? Perhaps ScottEx (UPScott?) is a better delivery method. Might take a little longer, though... -YendorMike "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania
Post #260,432 by bepatient 6/29/06 3:00:35 PM Reply	What're the odds??? that the kids in my neighborhood will travel to Chicago to swipe the box from your front porch? (most likely scenario of what happened) If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. _{Fudd's First Law of Opposition} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]
Post #260,436 by Yendor 6/29/06 3:44:45 PM Reply	Re: What're the odds??? So the neighborhood kids are walkin' around with a power cord that they don't have the thing-it-connects-to? Greaaaaaaaaat. Anyway, I don't really have a need for it immediately, so July 29th-ish is good enough. -YendorMike "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania

You're typing on a device that stores trillions of pieces of data and makes billions of computations per second with the ability to grab data on almost anything from around the world in milliseconds, using electricity transmitted from hundreds of kilometers through wires on towers dozens of meters tall connected to megastructures that do things like burn coal as fast as entire trains can pull into the yard, or spin in the wind with blades the size of jumbo jets, or the like, which were delivered to their location by vehicles with computer-timed engines burning a fuel that was pumped up halfway around the world from up to half a dozen kilometers underground and locked into complex strata (through wells drilled by diamond-lined bores that can be remote-control steered as they go), shipped around the world in tankers with volumes the size of large city blocks and the height of apartment complexes, run through complex chemical processes in unimaginable quantities, distributed nationwide and sold to you at a corner store for $1.80 a gallon, which you then pay for with a little piece of microchipped plastic, if not a smartphone, which does all of the aforementioned computer stuff but in a box the size of your hand that tolerates getting beaten up in your pocket all day.

But technology never seems to advance...
