Placed an order with an online retailer on Sunday afternoon. Previously the retailer used a courier at a flat rate of $9.90 to deliver next day. I chose the free delivery option which takes 1 to 3 business days. Got an email this morning saying it had been despatched. Another email immediately afterward from the postal company said it might be late. It arrived two hours after the emails were received.
@matigo I'll be updating some electrical test & tag data on the Men's Shed iMac tomorrow. That's on an Numbers spreadshit.

An earlier post of mine mentioned roadworkers having had favourable conditions to complete resealing of the town centre bypass freeway.
These "favourable conditions" on the two days concerned meant daylight temperatures in excess of 38˚C (100+˚F) & those official temperatures are measured in a Stevenson Screen shade box. Outside temperatures would have been over 45˚C. And working with molten asphalt. Good thing they have machines to do most of the work.
The night-time temperatures weren't cool either, around 27˚C on both Wed & Thurs nights & the roadworks continue 24 hours per day.
The state government road authority closed off the freeway bypass here last week for major resurfacing. They said it was better this way, doing it when traffic is at a traditional low level.
Apparently it would have taken up to a month for the works if done with lane closures but still allowing traffic to use the bypass. They planned on closing it from Wed Jan 4 to Friday Jan 6 but favourable weather enabled them to get it done in two days.
Great relief to those who had to traverse the town via the old highway, because that was bumper-to-bumper for most of the daylight hours while the freeway was closed.
@matigo In this case, Clippy is a now-unavailable clipboard extender, able to retain up to 99 previous clipboard entries. It used to be on the Mac App Store.
Simulated a Windows 8-style Start Menu in the dock of the MacBook Air.
I used to have seven folders & a website in the dock, now there are two folders & a website. The folders are "Start Menu" & "Recent Apps." The folders all contain aliases to other apps/folders/aliases and are set to display their content in List view. That's really reduced the clutter in the dock.
