It's here!!!!!!!!!!
Some history ...
The day after my last FMF post I received a call from the clueless folk at FedEx that my darlin' was sittin' in a (truck) trailer in the parking lot in St. Rose, (8 miles from Laplace) and that they would certainly get it to me tomorrow, (Wednesday).
Wednesday: nuttin'; I called them and they assured me that folks would be workin' on Thanksgiving to unload the trucks and WILL definitely get it to me on Friday,
or Saturday at the VERY LATEST!.
Friday: nuttin'
Saturday: nuttin', Saturday night I finally lost it and yelled at a
FedEx Customer Advocate Lass for an hour. I threatened nuk'ler armagedon if some flippin' middle-manager puke didn't hand deliver it on Monday, (FedEx Ground doesn't deliver on Mondays).
Monday: voila! c'est ici! I called Joe at
MagnumPC and told him it made it. The shipping box is a mess, but the 'puter is in perfect shape.
Joe assured me that a full refund for shipping was on it's way. Sheezz! What a bloke has to do to get free shipping these days!
Shameless plug: I urge all you mates to shop at least a wee bit at
MagnumPC. The guys there are top notch!
I plugged 'er in, turned 'er on and ... no smoke! I s'pose the 'puter dogs are happy. Anyway, what do I see? IL2, TeamSpeak and HyperLobby icons! Installed an' ready to go!
See y'all later, there are a few dozen fings I need to do before I have a FULL metal ferret.
Thanks for seeing this oddessy through with me ... film at eleven!
