Ah, UPS tracking... so reliable!

[sweh]

On the 26th I ordered some computer stuff and it got shipped in two boxes (one box was the case, the other was the mboard, CPU, memory etc). The UPS tracking numbers were consecutive (give or take a check-digit)

   .... 507 2
   .... 508 1

Item 1; has a nice trail to my local UPS office... but hasn't been delivered yet.

Item 2 performs some magic. It gets delivered without leaving the UPS office...

Of course, both boxes were outside my back door when I got home (although the magically delivered item says "front door" on the tracking page).

Dontcha just love UPS!
