@griffonwing

You should also watch flashforward (on Hulu). It's pretty good.

Being a grouch by nature (according to my wife, at least), I hate not to complain, but I've never had any problems with UPS or FedEx. Both have always delivered on the date they said they would, and both have always been diligent to update their tracking sites promptly.

The USPS is another matter. I've never seen the U.S. Post Office tracking site update an order. When they first get the package, their site will acknowledge that they have received the item, and after that, there are no more updates until the package eventually arrives at my doorstep.

Dagnabbit! I guess I did manage to get a complaint in after all!

USPS tracking is not tracking. At best it might be able to pass as a confirmation system. But I wouldn't even go that far.

I didn't get in until about 1pm. The office was closed. Apparently the secretary was sick, and the architect is out of town. Anyway, I waiting on the porch until 4:14 for the FedEx driver. He didn't show. Internet was down for a bit, so I couldnt check.

The internet came online then, and I looking on the tracking site. That idiot FedEx driver stopped by today at noon, but left NO notice so I had no clue. I am pissed.

Now I'll have FedEx coming by here tomorrow, and UPS coming by my house tomorrow. This is unbelievable. Waiting for one will most likely make me miss the other. Let's just hope the secretary makes it in.

You could go by the Fedex center and pick it up I have done so many times.

It's delivered and charging. A quick cursory inspection shows NO creasing, NO warping, and the coating in excellent condition. I'm very satisfied, and the 2 weeks wait for shipping is well worth it to me.

Really nice griffon, glad to know you are enjoying your new PP without problems; i just finished creating a new boot/shutdown logo that i posted on "customizing your Pocket Pro" thread and im thinking how to make it even better

griffonwing · 10-09-2009, 01:44 PM

Yes, I have read the links. Once I come up with a design, I'll use the program and custom fit my PEZ. Although this will be MUCH more useful if/when the firmware update allows for sleep-mode images
