Anyway, this guy simply went to his local grocery
store, got hold of a
seriously flimsy cardboard box, and proceeded to place the computer and
drive in the bottom of said box (in that order too). And that was
it--no packing material what-so-ever!!! (I guess I should've been
happy he actually sealed the carton with a single piece of packing
tape...)
Even so, that battle-tank of a 1541 was still in alignment when it got
here. (Then again, I've seen one tumble down a flight of stairs and
still pass a mechanical performance test.) You have to love any
hardware that could be used as a ballistic weapon in a pinch, and still
boot. ;)
