Finally got it today.

I sent OctaPC an email yesterday asking when they sent it.

Got just this as a reply:
It is being sent today via Platinum Express Bag #ZY0******
So I got it today 8)

I'm glad I sent that email!

Otherwise who knows how long I'd be waiting

It's only been a week though ... give it the full 10 days before you get too disheartened :wink:

I ordered my Vista HCx from the USA last year at Xmas and it arrived spot on the estimated delivery time 8)
If it takes 10 days I'll probobly cry.

Well I'm an amatur astronomer and have been for the last 5 years, I guess that's my main hobby. (S.E.Q.A.S is the club I'm a member of).

I'm pretty enthusiastic about all science, and skepticism.

I also enjoy watching large amounts of anime... ><

I think I've decided on either a Garmin GPSmap 60Cx or 60CSx, the only difference between them I've managed to work out is the altimeter and electronic compass. I was...
