I am happy to say that the disks arrived here this morning at about 11AM
(via basic US Priority Mail) and the install is currently in process.

That's about 48-hours from the time I placed my order online to the time
the disks were delivered -- clear across the US from California to
Massachusetts. I just hope the installation continues this smoothly.

Cheers,
