Well, turned out my ram is coming from NJ instead of Memphis. May take a
extra day or so. It did ship this morning tho. I plan to max out at 16Gbs
and put portage on tmpfs. That should be big enough even to compile OOo
then.
I live "one-day UPS ground" time from Memphis (I can drive there in
about 4 1/2 hours). It's always a sad moment when I see my order
status from Newegg and that it is not shipping from Memphis, but
California or NJ...
Well, what got me once was the trip a package took. I ordered
something, can't remember what it was now but anyway, it left Memphis,
went to Atlanta and sat there a day or two, then went to some place in
Kentucky and sat there for a day or two. Then it went back to Memphis
where it sat for a couple days and then they dropped it off at the post
office to be delivered. DHL was the one that did all the running around
the country.
Needless to say, I wrote newegg a little note about all that. They
refunded the shipping, which I wasn't worried about, and said she was
going to talk to the higher ups since they are getting a lot of similar
complaints. I notice that their only options now are UPS and such. I
don't see the so called "egg saver" anymore.
That package took over a week for me to get. As I explained in my note
to newegg, I could have rode a bicycle to Memphis, got the package and
rode the bike back faster than the shipping company could get it here or
even just get it back to Memphis to drop it off at the post office.
The funny part, once it was taken to the post office, I got it the next
day. So much for snail mail. They should have shipped it with them to
begin with. lol
At least we know now why they went belly up. Let's not mention the part
from Sears that I had to drive 40 miles one way to get. They delivered
it to some ladies house. She found me in the phone book. I guess DHL
doesn't have a phone book. :-@ There is only two people around here
with my last name. The other is my brother. He knows where I live
too. ;-)
