I sent my dell tower system from CA to MA, and UPS Ground fubared it... it was packed so as to be completely immobile, with a 2" layer of foam rubber in between the case and the heavy-duty cardboard box. When it came, it looked like a big heavy guy named Chunk had used it as a chair/punching bag. I wasn't the signatory, since we have a mailroom system. I opened the package, found pieces broken off the case and the slot side dented... at least 1" indentations in some places. Popped the top, found that my new GeForce2 had been shoved in, breaking the card and the sole AGP slot on the motherboard. Dell said that it would be cheaper to buy a new computer. Pissed me off. But at least I'd insured it for a _lot_ of money.

it's called Larn, NetHack, and all those other fun, free roguelike games... sometimes simpler is better!
