Well, on Sunday night (July 9th) I
ordered a short 44 terminal extender card to use in troubleshooting my HP 5340A counter. While searching on the 'bay, I also found two others that could prove useful, and ordered those as well. I'm in Connecticut. One shipped from California, one from Illinois, and one from just outside of Philadelphia, PA. All are coming via USPS. (Anyone care to guess where this is going?
)
Two arrived in the mail today. The ones from IL and CA. The one I actually
need is the one coming from Pennsylvania - geographically the closest origin point. Its tracking info shows that it left Doylestown, PA and made it to Philly on the 11th. And apparently disappeared into a black hole, as there have been no further progress updates.
I should have known that the one from the far side of the country would make its 2500 mile journey in less time than the one that was only coming about 150 miles as the crow flies.
