Alright! jamiep1 is pulling through. It's really tough the waiting, particularly your case. With software, with me anyway, I'm so used to getting what I want from the store, and if not that then waiting a week, tops, for stuff ordered over the phone or the internet, that waiting even just the relatively short period I did for my MCNA, made it quite acute. It is however fortunate that given some diligence, even the regular modems can sooner or later download SPWAW during the interim.

I've had a pretty good amount of mail experience while I've been working in IS (shipping mainframe tapes on occassion), and I can tell you that a lot hinges on the individual driver. I can't tell you how many times something didn't get to the right place because though it might've got to the right place the person signing for it misplaced it (security guard or receptionist at the front), or it was sent the wrong place and the person signing for it apparently believed that everything that Fedex puts in their hands must automatically belong to them, and therefore didn't check from who it was addressed to before signing it, which if they hadn't signed would've hopefully warned the driver of the wrong place. It's a pretty screwy thing. Paul mentioned a very bad USPS shipping ratio, and though I had very little USPS stuff I sent, I maybe had them screwup only once.

I suppose one has to move into an area that is widely known for postal geniuses. I wonder if calling the area postal services and putting them through a few rounds of SPWAW questions, might not be able to tip us off as to what kind of service we can expect in shipping? ;) I can see it now......Yes, UPS?.... In SPWAW, what is the front turret armor of the Tiger tank? If they give the Dixie-Cup-and-the-String routine (ala Lily Tomlin) then you know what you can expect.

Yes!!! David responded back with info on my MCNA shipment. There's only one bad thing, my wife is making me clean all the sand out of our living room! She just doesn't understand the importance of North Africa. ;)
