The Thumb Drive showed up on Tuesday. You know me, I’ve got some complaints: The old one had a red drive light that worked like the standard one, it was lit when there was activity. This one does the same, but has the added annoyance of flashing once a second to let you know it is, I don’t know, working? Another nice feature is that it came with a couple of different color covers to match your mood or I-Mac color. The fly in that ointment is that to change the cover you have to remove two screws from the back which are hidden underneath the sticker that says, “Warning! Warranty void if removed.”
The Mug arrived the next day, Wednesday. You know me, I’ve got some complaints: It took a whopping ten days to get here. The thumb drive came from California too, and it made it 5 days. The dark green of the outside ring of the logo came in way too light. That is livable, but the big problem is that the Club’s circular logo appears oval when looked at on the mug. They preach what you see is what you get, the photo on the site doesn’t look like an oval, but in real life it sure does. My wife thinks I’m too picky, but I think it is unacceptable. I tweaked the logo by stretching it in the horizontal by 10% and ran a cylinder filter on it in Paint Shop Pro. I test printed it and it looks a lot better. I uploaded the new image and ordered another mug to check the results.
