- Short and sweet:
-
- Monday: I called Future to check our shipment. They said they would call back
- Tuesday: No call
- Wednesday: I call and they say we slipped until February. I piss and moan,
- stamp my feet and cry like a baby. I talk to the Big Cheese and he
- says he will se what he can do.
- Thursday: Parts are on the way!!! Somehow, they got Motorola to ship an
- emergency order of processors to us. (Yeah, right.) Even though
- Future can't get any. (And I do have a bridge for sale. Really)
-
- It only takes a minute to test a processor in the new rig so I can test all
- of them in 2 hours. They will go out the day I get them. I'll let you know.
