An I-pod Shuffle was the ONLY thing my grandaughter wanted for Christmas.  I had no idea what it was, but on my daughter's recommendation I ordered it from the Apple website.  I placed the order on Sunday night with guaranteed free shipping and engraving.  (more about the engraving later!)  By Monday afternoon, I received an e-mail that it had been shipped.  The route included:  some small town in China, Shang-hai, Anchorage, Indianapolis, Memphis, and to me in Florida - by Friday morning before 9 a.m.!

Now I know grandmas aren't supposed to know about these things, but I could not believe...
