I lucked out. I happened to go to freeminimacs on Wednesday to check on the status and it suddenly said, "Order shipped." I figured it would take a few weeks for them to get it to me.
I'm feeling a lot less skeptical about these "crazy, free stuff pyramid scams" right now.
Why is this day CRAWLING by?
Oh do I get a free Steve Jobs with order? Because I really need someone to explain why iDVD doesn't work properly.
Be wary of the free Steve Jobs. The hardware is free, but the lifetime supply of black silk turtlenecks adds up.
Okay...Better Electrician Guy has been poking around for almost half an hour, and he has succeeded in somehow disconnecting the power to my refrigerator. Which is on a separate circuit from the outlet that he was supposed to be fixing.

I just need him for the iDVD issue. Maybe I can sell him, slightly used, on ebay after.

Um. I think he might need a new name.
UPS.com tells me my TiVo is sitting on the front porch. Now I get to worry all afternoon about whether it will still be there when I get back.
UPS says that my Harry Potter book has left the UPS center that's, say, 10 miles away from here, and is "In Route to Final Destination."
Now, that's different from "Out for Delivery," which is what it usually says at this point. But I read that UPS is delivering the HP books to the USPS, and they (the USPS) will deliver books to people's homes tomorrow. (Because UPS's weekend delivery charges are too high.)
Thag want book now.

so maybe it is better to still be waiting? ok - it is only 10 minutes after stated time...
Um. I think he might need a new name.
It is turning out to be a more ironic nickname than I'd hoped.
I'm supposed to get my HP delivered tomorrow by Amazon, but since DH ordered it (on his account), and is at ComicCon all weekend, I can't check on the shipping status.
