Fedorenko Junior Member Australia 463 Posts	Posted - 07 Apr 2003 : 21:08:36 Leaving a computer in a box is one thing, leaving a bubble wraped sliding door is another. Auspost was meant to ship it through registered post, but it was left on the grass outside our house. And we live a few door downs from a highschool. And those highsechoolrs had rocks, and there was this 2 glass panned sliding door...put 2 and 2 together.
Captain Z Mobile Ops Commander USA 637 Posts	Posted - 07 Apr 2003 : 21:13:44 Nope I didn't... even if it was in NY, I don't have the space for an ANS right now. I found that on the Low End Mac Swap List, so it could be anywhere. ------------------ Captain Z - Mobile Operations Commander 68K Macintosh Liberation Army 31 68K Macs Liberated Visit Captain Z's Starbase of EV Stuff
