I pre-ordered the 5.2 disksets and four t-shirts on September 8th. I'm
located just outside of Toronto, so there shouldn't be a problem with
international shipping.
November 1st came and went, with no disksets or t-shirts in sight. Since
the days of 2.8, I've always received the disksets before the release
date. I'm a patient guy, so it's no big deal. (I've already downloaded
the amd64 and i386 sets for my servers, and I run -current on my
workstations, but geez, I'd really like to get my hands on those
shirts... and the stickers!)
Today the OpenBSD package arrives. Four new t-shirts, but no disksets
(and no stickers, dammit!)
The packing list has five checkmarks made in pencil beside each item, so
somebody made an oops. Shit happens..
The funny part? They mailed me the freaking pencil! I never thought
I'd buy a $50 pencil, but I guess I was wrong. I laughed my ass off.
Wondering where my package was, I exchanged emails with "Pam" at the
computershop.ca on Nov. 6th. They were having some shipping issues, but
she was *really* nice about it. No joke, she was a real sweetie.
I've since emailed her again, and I'm certain this will eventually get
sorted out, but until then I just had to share this story.
A pencil? Seriously? Hilarious! I'm still laughing!
