Now I see on the packing slip where it says "Quantity 2"

oh my god.. that is SO lucky!!
 
He called me back. I had done a graphics job for him a while back for free, because I knew he didn't have the $$ and he is a good friend. He told me he felt bad about it for a while, but now he's making money. I had just bought a new system, and I had apparently mentioned to him that I wanted to upgrade the RAM. 🙂

Yes.

i'm assuming by your silence something bad must've happened when you were drunk..

Try learning to read?
It was mentioned, he did a graphics thing for his friend, and now the friend has money and can repay him, and this is how the repaying was done.

Wow, I wish I had a friend like that.

Edit: Another mispelling
 
This sounds like a bad movie plot...I guess you're now obligated to PAY IT FORWARD. Send some free hardware to ME!!! Then I'll send some free hardware to someone too...really I will...

Oh yea wait...is your friend married? *MAYBE* he bought it for himself...but his wife would have never forgiven him for spending $160 on RAM, so he spent it on the sly and you're the mark!

*OR* maybe he bought it for his wife's machine, but its supposed to be a present and he didn't want FedEx to deliver it while she was at home...so he sent it to you...

HAHAAHA! 😀

His machine is maxed out, so he didnt buy it for himself. His wife is not exactly tech savvy, and she doesnt have her own machine. Anyway, I spoke to him, and it's for me! But as far as hardware goes, I do have a brand new 256 stick of Samsung ram which came with my Dell........
