Just when you thought you'd seen it all, we had a UPS guy climb up a fire escape and leave the package on the roof in a thunderstorm. Hey Spyder, pretend you're leaving the house for five minutes and hide in the bushes. They LOVE to show up during the few minutes you're not there. ;-)

At this point I am willing to try anything. Not that it matters much now. The kids will be home from school in a couple of minutes and there will be no photo safari for me.

Guess who just showed up? 12 hours and 27 minutes after it was "out for delivery" from 6 miles away.

That's what happened to me last week. Listed as "out for delivery" at 4:30am. Showed up around 6pm.

Of course, that was better than the time before that when it never showed up and I called inquiring. The "customer service" lady told me that the information I could see what "just for customers" and she had better information which was that the package was actually still three states away, not out for delivery.

An ancient Minolta RD-175, made in 1996. It has pretty low resolution by today's standards but features a 3ccd sensor system. It will also use most Minolta Maxxum AF lenses which are very low cost at present. This camera will be a complement to the old Kodak/Nikon DCS-460 (acquired last year) made about the same time as the Minolta. Both these cameras were very pricy in their prime but are dirt cheap now!
