Yesterday, I checked my bank account online and was horrified to see nearly three hundred extra dollars. I clicked and I clicked, but I still couldn’t find any trace of Dell charging me for the X30 I ordered last week. For a good amount of time, I really thought that I would be taking part in one of the good-online-deal horror stories. I pictured the UPS truck being stopped by three Dell motorcycle officers on a secluded highway. Then I see the UPS guy smiling and laughing with his head cocked back as he finds my box and hands it over to the Dell guys. Finally, they ride out in the sunset and the scene cuts to me looking out of my bedroom window into the rainy day.
I woke up at 5:30 this morning and checked the shipping status. It was in Seattle last night and should be on a truck for delivery today. A free Axim would be nice, and my hopes were high. Then I checked my bank account and it was back to normal. At least the order wasn’t cancelled.
