shoot. I sent it back today at around 2pm. I ordered another 4GB from Amazon that will be here tomorrow. After I get it and know that it works, I'll order another 4 GB. The Egg charges a restock fee, so best not to order too much until you know it works. I get free shipping from amazon. I'm in a big hurry to get back up and that huge delay over the weekend didn't help.
