this brought back memories!  we got our 170 last spring, and had been expecting
it for several days.

my husband had nose surgery, and i took off the day he had it.  well, about 3:00
that day, they called from the office and said it had arrived.

so i went on in.  when i got there, willie was unpacking it, and we got a screen
and cabled it up.  i didn't time it, but i don't think it was more than an hour.
some of our biggest decisions were where to plug the stuff in.  i did an initial
config and backup, and was back home by 5:30.

i'm sure my in laws must have thought i was a heartless wife.  but a few months
later, they got their own p/c, and had me come down several times for private
lessons!
