Actually, all the delivery services have one problem in common: they deliver to residential addresses during the day when no one's at home. Doing so was fine back in the fifties when Ozzie went to work and Harriet screwed the delivery man, but Harriet went to work as a corporate lawyer, so nobody's at home. When will some delivery service wake up to the fact that they need to do residential deliveries in the evenings and on weekend? As for UPS being a bogus organization: my sentiments exactly. Never use UPS for anything. (UPS = United Parcel Service, not US Postal Service) I rejoice that I once got the better of them. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
