experiment (status update)
The Mac is gone as of yesterday. DHL came by and picked it up. It was kinda scarry. I had no receipt from the guy that he took it. He was even scarrier. His uniform looked like it had been through a wet, muddy jungle. However, I was able to login to the DHL web site today and see that it was on its way overnight first class. The site allows you to sign up for confirmation of deivery. I was pretty happy with that and expected an update later today. However, I just got this:
