Just goes to show you - I learned that one needs to give UPS explicit delivery instructions. For example: "LEAVE THE PACKAGE ON MY FRONT DOOR" or "DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT LEAVE PACKAGE AT DOOR". They may still ignore them or otherwise screw up, but at least you did all that you could. I now realize you have to treat UPS people like the "mentally challenged" - can't assume anything about their common sense. I remember having to write explicit documentation like: 1. Make sure your computer is on. If it is not on, turn it on. If it doesn't turn on, make sure it is plugged in. 2. Insert disc into drive 3. Look for the icon that says "Install" etc. Paolo --- Paul <paulrichard10@knology.net> wrote: > Heck, at my home in Pittsburgh, I'd be pissed if UPS > DIDN'T leave the > package on my front door.
