chris talpas Posted June 28, 2000 Share Posted June 28, 2000 Looking on the bright side of things however. With all this posting about how CM has not arrived yet, I have achieved Member status much faster than I would have if I had been playing CM for the last week or so.

Has anyone figured out yet why the Canada Post headquarters in Ottawa are BIGGER THAN OUR PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS?? There is definitely something wrong here. Maybe they need a lot of space to play the computer games they confiscate from our mail... Nothing yet in Halifax, maybe the USPS threw my package overboard in Boston as part of a re-enactment of the Boston Tea Party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh - and to answer your question about the Canada Post offices in Ottawa.

gaffertape Posted June 28, 2000 Share Posted June 28, 2000 I applaud your enthusiasm, JeffRaider. Let us keep our fingers crossed, lads. Today is a the optimal delivery day for me, actually... Thursday night I'll be at the Billy Bragg show, Friday night and Saturday I'll be with my girlfriend, and Sunday I work. Tonight I'd actually get a chance to tinker with the thing. Oh, and sit on the toidy with the manual. GAFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffRaider Posted June 28, 2000 Share Posted June 28, 2000 I'm praying it shows up today. I can play a foggy DYO night-fight or two, then take the manual to work with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Black Devil Posted June 28, 2000 Share Posted June 28, 2000 Still nothing in Winnipeg. Assuming that it was shipped with the last batch, I guess I can expect to see it anytime bewteen this Thursday (Tomorrow) and Monday. After that we have surely entered the realm of rediculous. ------------------ "Hosti Acie Nominati" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Brunton Posted June 28, 2000 Share Posted June 28, 2000 Nothing here today in Waterloo, Ontario. Has anyone dropped BTS a line to see if the Canadian orders got sent late or if they know of any other screw ups that might account for the delay? I only ordered at the end of May this year but others here in the Great White North ordered alot earlier and don't have it either. Doug (doubting whether it will arrive in time for the long weekend).
