Last September I shipped one of my beloved notebooks to Compaq Inc in Tennessee for warranty service. Per Compaq's direction-shipment done via Aurborne express in a carton supplied by compaq.

The notebook never returned to meerries to Airborne and Compaq revealed it had been shipped back to me at the correct address.

Telephone calls to airborne revealed it had been received and signatured at my office. I checked the manifest and the signatory was noone in my agency--thus--i assumed my comput had been stolen by a person signing a false name.

so i filed an insurance claim (homeowners) and insurance sent me a brand new Compaq PIII-650..arriving 11/21.

On returning from lunch at work today (11-22), there was a phone message asking me to come across the street to another office to "pick up a package misrouted"--thinking this was a magazine ordered earlier this week, i ran across only to fine-------u guessd it-------my beloved computer
sitting on the receptionist's desk...she said she found it under the desk!!

It had been sitting there 7 weeks..noone noticed until today!!!--truely amazing!!..the box is 2 feetX18"X7inches--hardly easy to misplace??? the receptionist said she was a "temp" only there 4 days--yet she found the comput!!

so- I have my beloved compaq back but must return the new
PIII!!
