A couple of years ago I received a rather large box from HP via FedEx. It was maybe 24"x18"x12". I was pretty excited because, while the box was pretty big, it certainly could have contained a couple of instrumentation interface cards needed for an experiment we were building. Alas, the box only contained another (also pretty big) box, very lovingly nestled in styrofoam peanuts (albino reindeer turds??). That box in turn had another (this time smaller, maybe 12"x12"x2") box, also very carefully protect
ed by peanuts. This box contained, most delicately held between two sheets of foam, the software license for a program we had been using for the past two years.
