Woz nearly didn't make it .
From Jack's forum
There's a little story about the game's travel to this show. We had it
flown here by midnight airlines I think. I arrived and was warmly
greeted and then Ron Chan says "you know about the damage right." -
yeah, right I'm thinking. Another guy teasing me. But that's not Ron's
style.
I go into the room where the game is and the box has a hole in it, is
split at it's seam and the pallet is no longer under the box but on
top of the box looking like toothpicks! Really? The game was
definitely dropped.
Everyone in the room with me was looking at the box and looking at me
like they were watching a tennis match for my reaction. We opened the
box, checked for damage and setup the game. Not a bump or bruise on
the game, thanks to Larry's pack job and to the cabinet construction
and probably going to church on most Sundays......the game was insured
for $8000 too but this game is "priceless".
Don't think I'm using the same mode of transport back to the MC but
its good to know and shipping more of these around can only help us.
It's was one of the boxes we rejected in the elimination process but
should have been fine under normal shipping circumstances, whatever
that is.
I was shown pictures of the game's arrival and the driver had it
hanging off the tailgate. If not for the crowd here upon it's arrival
it would have probably fallen off the truck here too...LOL...I'll get
some pictures posted somewhere. Thanks to everyone at PPE again.
