I am now "paying" for a 3 days phase game....

I wish I hadn't been so smug in my OP.

2 boxes shipped to me on 5/7 a 30 pound one and a 5 pound one.

Guess what arrived today?? my 5 pound free backpack..

The backpack shipped an hour after the laptop.

and... Fed Ex tracking probably won't tell me much untill late tonight as to my chances of delivery tomorrow.

If I could have changed one thing about my order it would have been to Call AW and ask to have my 7700 shipped 2 or 3 day Air Fed Ex.

AW shipps Fed Ex Ground Home Delivery.The guy that brought the box today is in a completely diffrent division of Fed EX NOT the regular Business fed EX that comes to my house 3-5 times a week ( I work from home).

Anyway with 20-20 hindsight would it have been possible to get faster shipping? Use my Fed EX account??

Whew!! Thanking all who read this in advance for feeling my pain.

All will be well in just about 24 hrs (<--inside refrence) !!!
