w00t! They just arrived!
I'm one of the gang now! ;) I have the Whidbey/Longhorn DVDs in my hand!
After I spoke to MSDN customer service (who are totally awesome! This lady on the phone (I wish I could remember her name) was totally cool about the entire thing) on Wednesday, I was told to expect that my DVDs would get here Monday. Well they came yesterday...and I'm happy! Of course, I have to wait for my new 80GB hard drive to get here becuase I officially have less than 1 GB of free space left on this 40 gig drive. How it got that full, I have no clue.
Anyway, time to go down to the local Airborne Express office and start rummaging through the boxes myself to find my new hard drive. :)
