There isn't much in Middle-of-Nowhere, Minnesota besides Digi-Key.
Postal employees there may be less corrupt than those in, say, Newark,
however, which may give them an advantage in shiping.

I was watching the premier episode of "Burn Notice" the other night
and they had a couple of VAX 7000-series systems as props. Complete
with a StorageWorks cabinet containing four TZ8x7 libraries.

The story line was that the computer system was super-secure and the
bad guys kidnapped the family of the computer wiz that designed the
software. So they were forcing him to break into the system and
download files.

The systems were in a sealed room with big windows. You could see
they had installed some non-stock blinking lights to demonstrate that
the systems were computing *something*. It was pretty funny.

Anyway, before the end of the episode the VAXen get obliterated in a
hail of gunfire.

Where's our USPS VMS advocate? Please tell me that this is _NOT_ a VMS
foul up. How does the USPS foul up routing like this?

A package, sent priority overnite from Warminster, Pa to Jackson, proNJ
(a distance of approximately 50 miles) on the 8th of July, is STILL NOT
here?

Warminster to Philly I understand, but then to Northern proNJ (Kearny) to
go back to Trenton (across the river from Philly)? What next? Hamilton
facility for a nuking before I get it? That should render it useless up-
on arrival.
