I know this is the 80% blog. But on some rare occasions one comes across something that is just 100%. This week we received (after the expected delay of a week due to dealing with our 60% local shippers agents) a special piece of hardware from a customer. The hardware itself is cool, but the box it came in - 100%.
Check it out. Not only did they build this box specifically for the device, but they built an inner compartment that kept it safe and bolted down. The whole thing was put together with copper (coated) nails and lag bolts. They used top quality birch plywood sides and solid pine for reinforcement and for the runners. The blue foam provided shock absorption. I love this box, I would live in it. These guys even put a G-Shock indicator and a tilt meter to make sure that the contents arrived in good shape.
Excellence in any form, must be appreciated. Needless to say this shipment did not originate in Israel. We're just not worthy.

It is and its not 100% -
The nails are actually iron and not copper but they did paint them yellow...
(we scratched them)
well, all I want to know is WHAT WAS IN THE BOX???????
Actually, I think this whole thing is really cryptic. I mean, you don't mention who sent the box, why they went to such trouble, and why the hell they would paint the nails yellow. Never mind what was actually in the box. Oh, and shipping agents? in Israel? hmmmm. looked like a pretty big box for "a device". I am thinking something fishy is going on...
