@thomasfuchs @usps Website said I had to wait till the 12th to make a claim, called on the 14th because website was stuck on March 12th. Person on the phone told me I had to wait till the 12th.

Me: "What is today's date?"

Them: "Marth 14th."

Me: "OK, let's make a claim."

Them: "You have to wait till after March 12th."

Me: "OF WHAT YEAR, MA'AM?"

They let me open a claim... and that's when folks started calling me from their personal cell numbers LOL

@thomasfuchs @usps Maybe my most exciting Ground Advantage story this year is when I shipped a couple hundred dollars in retrogear only to have the package lost for a month, being denied the ability to open a claim, and watching it makes multiple trips back and forth to distribution centers.

Employees on the ground (who called me from their personal cell phones - because they claim the phones don't work, and that management doesn't answer voicemail) were very helping in tracking it down.

I love the @usps & hate what is being done to it by people too ignorant to realize that it's a service, not a profit center. That said #GroundAdvantage is the worst, and undermines confidence (By design or by accident) in the broader USPS.

ELIMINATE this terrible service option.

To make #GlobalTalk signup easier to navigate, please enjoy this Google form. Keep in mind that the approval process is still manual. Hopefully having a form makes it easier to track requests and eliminate people making requests on mobile platforms not seeing all the questions.

Have you played your #Apple Pippin today?

Hey, #retrocomputing fam! I have a AT case that needs some bay covers... one for 3.5" bay, and one for 5.25" bay.

Do you happen to own this same case, and could show me what the latches on the covers look like? Or do you have a few extras to sell?

Thank you!

Please share!

Any time someone posts #retrocomputing content:

Apple: Hey, people are calling our Adjustable Keyboard ugly. Can you take some of the heat off?

Fico: HOLD MY BEER.
