let's hope customs works well into the wee hours and simply held it up as per regulation.

Hold on, the FedEx dude is carrying two packages? One seems too small to fit a P-P-P-Powerbook, the other one is waaayy too big.
Checked FedEx Tracking and it didn't say that Delivery has occurred? Maybe this isn't our package guys.

we noticed that... thing is... starbucks saw the guy arrive, shot it, then proceeded to IRC and change the screensavers.

another goon, was downstairs with the video camera snapping shots of the delivery.

Now we just hope they get home.

it looks about the right size... it's in a G4 Box (i think).

Images so far are uploaded, the videos have a bit more, I couldnt get a good angle of the shop entrance and the cars outside blocked the Fed Ex workers view. There were plenty of people outside making it pretty hard but I think most of the delivery iis on video.

In a few minutes I'm going back to the barbers, I need the upstairs view to take better shots when someone picks up the package. Videos should be up soon.

It would be great if someone could compress and mirror, my hosting only has a few gigs and it will be a pain if it dies while I'm here.

hey... i've got plenty of space and a new month of bandwidth.
