The tower version of this computer was the largest item I got in mail order.
A week late and a dollar short but here are may answers to the May 22 topic "Mail Order" from Scrivener's Friday 5 site.
The Questions:
- What is your most recently mail-ordered item?
- What’s a catalog you’ve always wanted to order from but never have?
- What is physically the largest item you ever mail-ordered?
- What catalogs do you still receive in the actual mail?
- What are some obscure or unusual catalogs you’ve received?
The Answers:
1. The last time I got an item actually mail ordered to me from Amazon.com was probably a CD - can't remember which one it was, but it was in 2014. Haven't ordered anything physical from Amazon this year.
2. Catalog I always wanted but never have.... SEARS - They discontinued the big catalog several years ago. But now I wish I had those since the SEARS store in Honolulu was torn down to make way for some high end stores.
3. Largest physical thing I actually got in the mail was way back in 1997 when I got my PowerCenter 150 Macintosh Clone desktop computer tower and monitor from Power Computing out of Round Rock, Texas. That was a good computer and was my main workhorse with Mac OS 7.6 to OS 8.5 and BeOS until 2001. Was a secondary platform until around 2009 when I sold it.
4. Currently no catalogs.
5. In the distant past I used to get a scientific supply catalog from Porter Spear Company and recently I've been annoyed with some junkie sports betting catalogs. Those are immediately thrown in the trash. My favorite catalog that I used to get was Crutchfield and the occasional C-Crane electronics catalog.
