I have a correction here. It appears "egg saver" is still alive. It |
| 40 |
also appears that DHL is still alive as well. I saw on the news where |
| 41 |
they closed down here in the USA but I guess it was just one of their |
| 42 |
big centers or something. Anyway, my 8Gb kit is coming from California |
| 43 |
in route to Mississippi so this may take a while. Given their record, I |
| 44 |
just hope it gets here at all. o_O |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
My 4Gb stick will be here tomorrow. I also decided not to do the |
| 47 |
prelink thing. Sounds like it would just be something else to keep up |
| 48 |
to date with little gain if any gain at all. |
