Delivery of your package has been delayed due to extreme weather conditions
"Delivery of your package (KINDLE DX) has been delayed due to extreme weather conditions or an unforeseen natural event."

AHHHH!!!

I woke up and that! And then I looked on Amazon's site tracking which said
"unknown!" but in Oklahoma City (about 20 minutes away).

I looked outside... bright and sunshiney. No clouds in the distance looming over OKC like that scene from Ghostbusters... WHAT THE HELL!?

And grabbed the UPS tracking number and got more info... at 4 am there was some sort of weather... I don't know, really. We were having thunderstorms but I've no clue if it got that bad. Anyway...

THEY say it is out for shipping. I think I'm gonna have a stroke!

Nice reference Gideon and well spotted Steve

Best "poor weather" excuse was someone tried to say thier car had its window smashed by hailstones, except they live in a block of flats with underground parking........

Take it easy, Gideon. Just close your eyes, take slow deep breaths, and repeat after me:

"It's just another Kindle. They're gonna discontinue them soon anyway. It's just another Kindle."

There, did that help?

Go outside, check under your house. If there's a couple of legs sticking out with some stylin' slippers on the ends, well...

WELCOME TO OZ! Can I get you a drink?

Looking forward to your opinion of it, Gideon.

Cheers,
Marc

I made a post earlier tonight with some basics of compatibility... I have to spend so more time with it before I'll have a strong opinion.

I was out drinking too much bourbon tonight so I didn't read all that much.
