I ordered 2 key fob batteries for my wife’s SUV from Amazon. Good news, it was early!

    Amazon Australia does the same thing with large boxes, plus they fill it with bubble wrap.

    Dear Eric, do you install these “preview” updates on your main PC? Is that okay? Or is it better to wait for the official release of these preview updates?
    Should the user read the “Known issues” area in the KB support article regarding the preview updates? Thanks.

      I’m worried enough when I install final builds. Despite the popular view that preview builds and Windows Insider builds are “beta” versions I believe they are “alpha” grade releases. I base this on the fact that so many Windows 10 final releases are still buggy and cause issues. Unless you are looking to fix a problem listed as fixed in the release notes there is no reason to attempt these builds. Certainly the “known issues” is a factor but it’s the unknown you should worry about.

    Several years back, an IT guy had an order coming in from a well known printer company.

    Apparently a twisted spring had a tendency to pop out if you pulled out a paper tray too fast. The spring would get lost in the carpet and get vacuumed up! Of course, the tray would cause jams without this spring.

    He ordered six spares at $6 each. They were just a wire twisted once in the middle and they came in six separate boxes the size of a half loaf of bread.

    He was so happy when a third party enterprisingly started making the springs. They were sold at 100 for $10 and he didn’t have to scan in replacement boxes to the company inventory. It was just a pouch sent in an envelope.

    Eric, consider yourself lucky. You could have gotten _two_ boxes containing batteries coming in. Ha, ha!
