S1's made it from Alaska to Kentucky for Today's delivery, S2 says Tuesday, but I doubt that..

And yes my Brain is just fine, GPU mining SUCKED!! burning 3KW to earn $15.00 a day, verses ASIC burning 3KW to earn $75.00 a day. Maybe my brain is wired wrong but I thought more money was the idea?

Flight UPS77 http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS77 Come on Tuesday!

Yes, it sucked.  But if you were in it for the long-term you held onto those coins and that $15 turned into a lot more.

Yes they did! Because we all spent a boat load of monies on ASIC, which assisted in increasing the price of BTC. Had we stayed with GPU/FPGA, BTC may only be worth $50 right now. DO I think HUGE data center mines suck, well sure in the short term, but if/when they do fall on their faces because that is how Satoshi designed the coin, there should be plenty of cheap hardware and at least a plateauing of difficulty, so hopefully long term these ASIC data centers become blessings.
