Yeah, I was pretty miffed about that too - but then I was pointed at
the Ubuntu-UK podcast.

In Viglen's defence, they seem to use the same shipping
"method" (non-"major" courier company), and the "tiny" MPCs turn up in
a desktop-sized box. Very odd when you've ordered two and the driver
turns up with a pile of boxes as high as he was!

Cheers,
