I've been thinking...
I don't think I'll install the TR right off the bat
instead, I'll go around and show it off to all the local retailers,
so they can see the stuff they should be selling,
as opposed to the Evercrap, Giga-rocket, low-end-Coolermaster-bullshit
(actually, the Gigabyte 3D Rocket isn't bad, but...meh....)
about a dozen local retailers here, and the only good HS/Fs:
the Zalman CNPSs and the TT Big Typhoon
Meh, don't waste your time.
There are reasons they don't carry the products you crave.
TR does not advertise and their products are not attractively packaged.
TR is not available through normal distributors, so there is no real discount to the retailer...he's gonna pay just what you would for it, hence no profit and thus, no incentive.

You did read the contract, right?

You missed out on payment by about 7 years or so
so now where do I fall in the contractual-legality-thingamajiggers?

(I always hated the fine print and all the terminology)
if payment is still demanded of me, I can get busy on it

could we agree on a fresh off the line 4th or 5th born?

If you have not already registered and activated the firstborn we would still be interested.

I was aware of the rather plain packaging, but didn't figure that into the equation
guess I'll never be a marketing guru

but I didn't know about the lack of bulk/reseller/whatever deal for local shops

no goodies today

wtf is up with the damned post office?

Awwww.
Should be tomorrow then.
After all, I did pay for "Priority" service.

Maybe that means they only run over it with the forklift once...

Edit: If it makes you feel any better (and I can't imagine why it would) none of my stuff came today either.
No waterblock, no vid card.

Sigh.

hehe.......with a confirmation # I was actaully able to speak to someone @ USPS
(w/o one they treat you like a freakin criminal)

looks like, even w/ priority posting,
from your local to mine is about a 3-4 day trip
then there's Valentine's Day falling in this week to consider I suppose

I'll give 'em the benefit of all that,
and an extra day even because I feel like being nice today

so if it isn't here by tomorrow at the latest...

I'm going postal
