Where's My Time Machine???!!!
I want a time-machine, right now, so I don't have to wait through the gruelling hours until my Sony PRS-505 arrives in the morning. How dare science not invent a time-machine so I can cut out all the waiting and have the PRS-505 in my hands right now.

I guess what I'm really saying is, why can't it be tomorrow already?!!!

If you think this wait is bad, wait till it arrives and you have to wait till it charges up. About the longest couple of hours I have ever experienced.

Be sure and let us know when it does get there and how you like it

Damn! I forgot about the charging That's it I'll have to walk up to the biggest tough guy in the neighbourhood, insult his football team, and have him knock me unconscious for those four hours. There is no other way out for me!!

Yes, in fact, that is recommended in the manual for you to do while waiting for the charge.

(It will probably have some charge on it already, so that you can go ahead and get a dose right away.)

I don´t want to unsettle you, but 7-8 am is pretty early, isn´t it? My postman usually doesn´t show up before noon....

Time travel in that direction is easy. Just accelerate to very near the speed of light and you'll be at tomorrow morning in just a few minutes.

Recorded delivery, so no postmen or women involved. If I had to rely on them it would be nearer 1pm

Now all I need is to somehow find myself a DeLorean and go forward a few hours. Where art thou Dr Emmet Brown? (I won't need light speed if I have a DeLorean )

You should have ordered it a day earlier then... You'd have had it by now!

You see, it would have made more sense if you'd use that time machine to go backwards in time, so, by the time you're back home, your order arrived (no sense in skipping valuable time!)

Well, then, there's the three hats method?
You get a hat, a good armchair & enough good whisky (spirit can be chosen according to taste; I'll have a plum brandy from Auvergne, if it's OK w/ you); you consume latter until you see three hats; turn off the light, and your Sony should be there when you (painfully) open your eyes

Trouble is, you might pick a Bengals fan and then you'd have a sobbing, macho gorilla on your hands telling you just how right you are and then you'd have to endure that along with the wait.

Pardon me, now I have to go sit quitely in a corner and sob.
