Stupid ordering over the Internet I ordered my Brother's christmas present from Target.com the day after thanksgiving (it was an item in their after thanksgiving ad), then I got an email at the end of the weekend saying it would be in sometime between December 3rd and January 21st. Then I got an email today saying STFU N00B, we're never getting Ju item in, and you can shove it.

On the other hand, I got a big box of electrical components today from an internet. hooray internet.

What was it? We're going to find you another one! To hell with Target, they can suck it!

It was a game console that looks like an old atari and plays old atari games.

Is it the one that looks like the joystick, or the whole system?

Oh, if it's this one, they say they still have it in stores. And I just happen to be going to Target tonight. Let me know if you want me to buy it and send it to you - you're not in the US, I think?

It's the one that looks like a whole system. I do live in the US (though it is occassionally easy to confuse Winter Milwaukee with Soviet Russia) so I'll just try shopping tonight or tomorrow.

thanks!

Bummer. Online shopping is so fast and easy when it works; it sucks when it don't.
