Wouldn’t you know it … ?
The OTHER cable turned up … !
You’ve possibly worked out I’m not exactly Mr Patient: and have a bad habit of ordering extra bits and bobs if whatever I’ve ordered from Amazon doesn’t turn up in good time.
I recently ordered a monitor: along with two lots of DVI cables, as the first didn’t turn up as promptly as I’d like.
Well, the second has turned up: yesterday, in fact.
Oy veh … !
One of these days, I swear, I’m going to learn … !
If NOTHING else, to keep an eyeball open on whether a vendor is Amazon, itself, or a third party seller.
