ordered phone Tues 12th , they say will be delivered Monday 18th. Fine.. I'm patient, right?

on Fri 15th I come home from groceries to find a delivery notice...

what does it say? You can pick it up at drug store postal counter on...

guess when

Monday 18th.

It's probably sitting, freezing away, in one of their tiny trucks for delivery to the drug store Monday morning...

Why couldn't you pick it up yesterday? Are they not open on Saturday?

no mail on weekends
this is not the first time I have had to wait 4days for a missed package.
It takes that long for package to get back to post office and then be sent out to pickup location. That must take at LEAST 6 people...

Is it some new kind that's smaller than a micro-sim card? Or did your last phone have one of those old "big" sim cards (roughly 1/2 an inch in length)?

My old Nokia had one of the big ones, thought I had to get a new one too. Then, someone pointed out that it was a sim-wtihin-a-sim. You broke away the "big" part and what was left was a micro-sim card. Still using my original from over 10 years ago in my new (new to me) iPhone 5s.

BTW
In other threads we talked about tuning apps. I said I loved PitchLab, others also liked it.
Well PitchLab is no longer available on Google Play store...only on 3rd party APK sites..
I don't trust such sources.
So I used an app called APK Extractor, to convert installed app back to an installer apk and send it wirelessly to my new phone.

I don't recommend this app to anyone, it pops up devious semi-transparent ads trying make you install stuff by accident. There are better apps I'm sure.

WHAAAAT?

I'm assuming as long as I have it installed Google isn't going to take it way? I bought the Pro version.

RobertW ,CTGull , That's why I'm a hardware kind of guy whenever possible. Hardware can last forever, but software, not so much. That's why they call it software.

My Boss/Roland porta-studio still works perfectly after, I dunno, it's gotta be going on 10 or 12 years now. My Sony software, which is not as old, is completely obsolete now and if I want it on my new Win10 laptop, I have to buy it......again.

Also, I still have the first Snark I ever bought and it still works perfectly.

I know that's just 2 examples and it may not always be that way, but still, that's why I'm a hardware guy whenever I can go that route.

I still have my install CDs for Office 2000 that I put on every computer I get, paid (if I remember correctly) $20.00 in 2000 because I bought them with a student discount! And the program still works fine (hardware indeed!)

I remember installing Office from (26) 1.44mb FLOPPIES!!! Sometime in the late 98's.

Ha! Me too! Still use it to this day!

I do have OpenOffice.org though, but that's just to open "docx" files that I sometimes get sent by the odd person. But that's the only thing I use it for. I convert it to a "doc" file, then go back to Office 2000.

I didn't even pay for mine (ours). My wife got it for free when she went through a Microsoft certification course. Never got rid of it cuz.......why would I?

I actually still have my Office 98 as well, but why would I use that. Now that would just be silly.
