   Yeah, what he said, only double.  All I received was a delivery
attempt notice from FedEx, and I have no idea whether it was before
or after 10 am.  Now, I won't see it until about 5:30 PM on the day
*after* it was supposed to be in my hands!  And they *know* I do my
laundry on Tuesdays, so I can't install it until *fifty-eight* *full*
*hours* after the alleged delivery date!  The *nerve* of Microsoft
to make such a promise!  I hate those bastards!
