Since I finger-pointed at the US Postal Service earlier in the week, the proper thing to do is mention that they made everything right. Sort of. My second 6-cell battery for the Samsung Q1 Ultra Premium was allegedly delivered on Monday morning per the tracking info, but no battery ever appeared at my house. I called the local Post Office yesterday to debate the issue since they said the item was delivered; they promised they would ask the carrier where she delivered the package to.Lo and behold, what did I see next to my garage very late in the day yesterday: the package with the battery. The Post Office left a voicemail indicating that the item was delivered to my home on Monday, but I gather that it was actually delivered to another home in the development and those kind folks brought it over. Either way, I don’t care how it got here. I’m just glad it is. Battery “B” as it will be known as from this day forward (to have and to charge, until bluescreen do we part) is now charging in the UMPC. Which is now running Vista. Too bad Samsung doesn’t support Vista on the Ultra Premium yet. I feel like I’m stuck in a time warp: cobbling together drivers and apps just like I did for Vista on the Q1 a year and a half ago.
