Would your package have arrived today if it weren't the Fourth?

[MichaelD]

I debated on calling this the "Darn! It's just my luck!!!" thread, but decided against it. Just curious who ordered some parts and as luck would have it, today would've been the delivery day if not for the holiday?

I did. Waiting on my QUIET case fans and my new CPU HS.

 

[NogginBoink]

Yes.

MiniDV videotapes for my new camcorder.

 

[aphex]

NO! CAUSE THOSE STUPID IDIOTS AT DELL CANT TELL ME WHEN MY FREAKIN CAMERA WILL BE IN STOCK!

Whew, that was a good vent!

If today weren't the fourth, what day would it be??

Now you're just being silly.

 

[MichaelD]

I am glad that today is the Birthday of the United States of AMERICA! I am truly a proud American...I just want my case fans, that's all.

"The 4.5th?" Teeheehee!

 

[agnitrate]

Yea I am waiting on my 1.6a + DDR 3200. I am also waiting on my order from mwave to be processed because they think I am a credit fraud (idiots), while newegg has already shipped and it is on its way.

Oh well, at least the fireworks will keep me distracted

Yes this really sucks. Why did the country have to pick today to be born on? Oh happy birthday, USA. My new ao4 pioneer DVD burner is sitting in FedX in Oakland and otherwise would have been delivered today. Anybody know how long 4.7 gigs on MP3's will play. My DVD MP3 player is a single disk?

How long they will play depends upon what bitrate they are encoded at. Higher bitrate=more space on disk. XXXamount of songs burned at 128kbps takes up half the amount of HD space as the same amount of songs burned at 256kbps.

FedEx is holding my stuff (and someone else's stuff) hostage for the day.

Yep. But I really don't mind to wait one more day too celebrate our country's freedom.

Damnit MichaelD, Do you have to be so picky? I knew, just knew that I should have added that I understood about the bitrate thing, that I was looking for an approximate time based say on 128, but I didn't want to put that in there cause I'm lazy. I suppose I could just go see how long a song takes to play and divide it's file size into 4.7 but I was hoping somebody might just know off hand.

PS I also know that it would depend on the space you leave between songs.

Ooooooooooooooh! Why two? I need a new cell phone...well, I don't need one; my current one works fine, it's just old. Not as small and snazzy as say, the ones you are getting!

Something like 3-1/4 days if I'm not practicing bad math today. 128kbps CBR compression puts you at roughly 1MB/minute.

 

[Moonbeam]

Thanks, ObiDon, great name, that's a lot more than I thought. Now to figure out where I'm gonna get 4.7 gigs of MP3s.

 

[GhettoFob]

no, but my v60 might have shipped today :disgust:

 

[tallest1]

Waiting on my 3 Panaflo fans. Its currently held only 60 miles away too. I could've just gone and picked it up. :disgust:

Oh, and happy 4th of July

 

[Lucky]

lian-li pc-65 case.

 

[slpaulson]

Yeah I would have gotten some ram in today.
Ohh well I wouldn't have upgraded the person's computer today anyways.

 

[gametime10]

yep...my new Inspiron 8200:

P4-M 1.6 Ghz|384 DDR PC266 RAM|15" SXGA+|GeForce4Go 64MB DDR|48GB 5400RPM HDD|8x/24x DVD-ROM|16x CDRW

Can't wait...

 

[Amused]

The Fedex tracking page says my Orinoco Wireless Gold PC Card from NexGen was loaded on the truck here in town at 3:00AM this morning for delivery.

So yeah, it would have been here today. Oh well.

 

[tgillitzr]

my fans for my home theater computer were delivered yesterday... but to my apartment office. I didn't get home till after they closed... and they are closed today as well. DOH!!

 

[axia55]

Yeah, my Double trigger and aluminum front grip for my A-5 would have been here
