No confirmation, but with 30,000 people mailing/faxing those in, it would come as no surprise to not have any confirmations. I would imagine, they are inputting them in electronically, and then releasing the ship authorization to the shipping center in batches.

ARGH!

I was just owned by Microsoft -

I am here at work on the phone with a customer when an out of area call comes in on my cell phone, so I kindly asked my customer to hold and went to my cell phone and answered it.

Me

"Hello?"

Microsoft Agent-

"This is (can't remember her name now) calling from Microsoft is this (my name)?"

By this point, my heart jumps out of my chest and I am thinking they are going to confirm my shipping...

Me

"This is!"

Microsoft Agent-

"I was just calling to confirm..."(Let me stop there and say, I was attempting to read her mind and think she was calling to confirm that they received my W9 and address). "that you are still going to the Microsoft Across America Launch scheduled for this Tuesday."

(A little disappointed I reply)

Me

"I am going to try to get there if the weather permits " (We are under a nice little deep freeze in the Pacific NW right now)

Microsoft Agent-

"Ok, great, we will be looking for you then, also, I am required to tell you that there will be a $6 parking fee which will not be validated at the conference)"

After that, I was so taken back by the courtesy call, that I didn't think to ask about the powertogether giveaway, so I let the call go. :wacko:

Using the vast future predicting powers given to me by the powers of non-alcoholic beer, I predict the first person to recieve his copy on...

Monday, 5th of January, 2007

if that is your prediction, i can't imagine what the powers of an actual Alcoholic beer would do to you LOL

:laugh: Wow, now I feel like a total "r-tard", as South Park eloquently puts it. I suppose I will officially revise my prediction to Wednesday, January 24th.

On another note, I recieved a mysterious USPS postal slip about a package which wasn't delivered because I wasn't home to pay the postage. Could this be the elusive Vista? Doth Microsoft ship in such a way? I haven't ordered anything else, so... :shiftyninja:

    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
    • I wonder what that line really meant...
