Well all this excitement around the Panda got me ordering the misc. stuff, now I am gonna build a little storage bin unit.
We have a 1 year old and have a million of those little plastic rectangle clear plastic things the baby food was in. My wife wanted to throw them all away, but I am thinking they will make a nice little bin for little electronic components… 
I am probably trying to get too organized before I dive in, but at least I am still excited…LOL
Can’t wait for the Panda!
Mike in MN
should be a lot of fun no matter what you do. Organizing things will make it easier to find them when you need them
Panda releases count to six day
Only to wait, but nothing to say…
6 days before GHI begins to send them 
Then how many days for real delivery ? ???
Usually, it takes between 3 and 4 weeks to come from USA to France
You could move to the USA quicker than that! And, then think of how quickly you could have access to your FEZ goodies…
That would then be “Freakin expensive” ???
Sam:
I am the train returning from the Faire. I have something in my pocket. What could it be?
Could it be a koala? No!
Could it be a Teddy bear? Maybe.
Could it be a pack of chewing gum? Nope!
Oops. Conductor wants my ticket… I’ll tell you later.
Mike:
I knew that you’re already got the Panda. ???
You make me soooo, jealous.
Did you set the record as the first to get the Panda as well???
How would you know I got a panda? The two I ordered have not shipped yet.
Oh… You think I have a panda in my pocket?
Sam
Is the panda going to be your first? Everyone remembers their first!
huh ???
Sam:
Here is what was in my pocket. I will unwrap it after I post my trip report for the Faire.
Sam:
I generally don’t tell anyone that I give all my computers names.
Well, in your honor, I would like to introduce everyone to my new computer “Sam”.
You have been a great sport, taking our kidding. Well done!
I have not had a chance to play with it yet. Tomorrow!
Mike:
I knew it!! I knew it!!
When you post that static bag of components (SMD resistors, or capacitors??)
You have Panda in your other hand… 
It’s a great honor, thanks!! 
Only five days more
Got plan to use FEZ Panda for…
Poor Sam 
Four day to move Panda out of pen
I’ll wait and see you then
Sam the Panda has been packaged up and is going to spend some time with a friend at work. Have to spread the love.
Mike, don’t give Sam such a hard time
You are right Robert. Again I feel ashamed.
Sam I am sorry that I have been giving you a hard time about waiting for your Panda.
I should not have teased you about getting one before you and showing you a picture.
WAIT… I DID GET ONE BEFORE SAM! AND HE IS STILL WAITING!.. HE HAS STILL NOT EXPERIENCED THE JOY OF PANDA!..
Ooops. I lost control again. I am bad…
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
