Stupid Fed Ex ground!

I hate the fact that I don't even have any updates since early Tuesday morning so I can at least see it moving across the country! I should have sprung a few bucks for some faster shipping......I want this freekin PC off my desk!!!!

Considering that when it started, the Pony Express cost $5.00 per 1/2 ounce (that's in 1860 money, based on calculations comparing GDP I looked up on the internet, that is about $110.00 in today's money), and averaged a speed of 10 miles an hour over it's 2000 mile length, you'd be paying more than your computer is worth (about $20,000) to get it later than you'll get it now. ;)

(Yes, I was bored)

If you do die before it gets there, can I have it ;)

No, it's getting buried with me if that happens...that is if it gets here before I get in the ground.

Well it made it as close as Atlanta as of 9pm last night and left there at 2:30 this morning but I don't think it will be delivered until Monday...I doubt they will get it to the truck on time unless the truck that left Atlanta was a Greenville area delivery truck and I'm betting it wasn't.

One more weekend of being a PC user.
