What Are You Doing With Your Exclusive Time Machine?

We received yet another SBSC exclusive here at the Funcave today. The Special Edition April MAPS Toolkit for SBSC finally arrived.

Only for those sporting the blue, rounded corner rectangle

Although it’s prolly a huge hit to the environment, I do appreciate the plastic box that houses this stuff. Not only does it reduce the amount of damage during mailing to basically nil, but it also makes for much neater shelving of the material after I’m done going through it.

Yes, I go through eveything in each kit. I read all the notes, review all the indexes & make notes about the contents, categorizing items so I can tell what our company can & should use immediately, what we need to look at in more depth later, and what we need to totally ignore. Ya see, if I simply shelve the stuff, 9 times out of 10 I’d never look at it again & would therefore never know all the resources I’ve got at my disposal.

Then something on the spine of this one caught my eye…

OK...the label wasn't all scuffed up like this. It was much cleaner, but the first pics were too blurry.

Now when I see one label atop another, I cannot resist trying to find out what’s on that bottom label. And thanks to some very careful peeling, I was rewarded with this…

HO-ly SH**!!! IT'S A TIME MACHINE!!!

Ah yes…nothing like being on the cutting edge, is there?

Well, if all you do after receiving something like this from Microsoft is stick it on the shelf, or throw it on the edge of your desk, or throw it on a pile of previously received kits that end up resembling nothing so much as a modern art masterpiece…

you have no one to blame but yourself for being out of the loop, stuck in the past & hopelessly out of date.

  1. I guess the Mothership ordered too many boxes last year. Mine is that way too. Well at least they are doing their part for the environment.
