I'm sure you guys will enjoy the humor in this...
I went to the shipping counter at the UPS hub here, with a box that has
an Atari 800, disk drive, and software. The guy at the counter asked
what I was shipping...
"Oh, just some software, and an old computer and disk drive."
"Copmuter? It that the original packing?"
"Huh? Uh, no. It's an _old_ Atari copmuter."
(Confused glance from him at the mention of the word 'Atari')
"Well, uh, lets take a look...What's this?"
"Umm, A disk drive..."
"Well, uh, we can't ship it like this. It has to be in the original box"
"Really. Since this computer is about 20 years old, I highly doubt that
the original boxes still even exists in this world. So now what am I
supposed to do?"
(Blank look from him)"Well, let me tape this box back up for you"
As I take the box to the FedEx hub next door, I wonder where this guy
has been in the 80's. He has to be at least 30 years old...
