After the completely botched service I have received from 800Flowers.com, I will never order from them again, and suggest you do the same.

800Flowers has smegged up the order I placed LAST WEEK for Jen's birthday today. Order "lost" & they want me to wait until 5pm to fix it!

Dear World,

The United States of America, your quality supplier of ideals of liberty and democracy, would like to apologize for its 2001-2008 service outage.

The technical fault that led to this eight-year service interruption has been located, and the parts responsible for it were replaced Tuesday night, November 4. Early tests of the newly- installed equipment indicate that it is functioning correctly, and we expect it to be fully functional by mid-January.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the outage, and we look forward to resuming full service -- and hopefully even to improving it in years to come.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The USA

In cafeteria right now and hearing a jazzy Muzak version of the "Get Smart" theme. Very bizzare.

Initial Win7 thoughts - not too shabby given this is a Beta OS & I have no apps installed. PowerShell 2 native!
