Plus any loyal Douglas Adams reader knows how important towels are.

I'm sorry to move this thread back on track, but I'd just like to take a moment to say that this whole waiting for my 505 to arrive is driving me nuts.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread derailment.

We actually have a special thread for such situations.

I feel your pain. I waited till after New Years for the window displays to go on sale. It was painful but, OTOH, I got it at 40% off.

Be sure and let us know when your's arrives and how you like it.

Ya know... I'd post there, but really it seems best to let old threads fade away. It's really the natural course of life on forums and I'd hate to perform some vile act of techo-necromancy in resurrecting such a thread.

Hey just cuz yer outta control don't drag me down with ya!

Taylor514ce · 05-14-2008, 02:27 PM

Let the dragging commence. Who has the net?

Shadowplay · 05-14-2008, 11:06 PM

Speaking of dragging, that's what time is doing at the moment.

Good news is UPS tracking says I'll have my 505 tomorrow morning, woohoo!
Bad news is I've got some major crap to deal with at work tomorrow that will likely keep me swamped for what's probably going to be a 12 to 14 hour day. Ah phooey.

Oh well, I will *make* time to do a little playing when it comes in and you'll hear from me of course.

Shadowplay--
I know that feeling! I've been the proud owner of a PRS 505 for a little over two weeks now. It arrived at work on a Friday. I really wanted to play with it, but managed to restrain myself. I did get it out of the box and hooked it up to my computer right away though. Wanted to make sure it was good and charged by the end of the work day.

Enjoy your 505!

I think you have it right - gotta get it out and fully charged and of course load a couple of ebooks on it for "testing purposes". I mean if there's anything wrong I need to know right away and the only way to know is if I use all the functions in a thorough test.

Taylor514ce · 05-15-2008, 08:53 AM

Quick, someone mozzle-up a term, closely related to "anticipation", for obsessively checking UPS to see the latest status of your package. No, I will not define "mozzle-up" for you, Shadowplay... let the dark forces of cooptation commence.
