Well, it finally arrived. No manual, no CD, just the drive. I guess I
should've expected that that's what "no software" means. Ah well. I
guess I'll go to nec.com and find out more about its capabilities.

Anyhow, I paid $12 for Fedex two-day shipping when I ordered it Friday AM.
That's not really two days, considering Fedex had it on the 11th and I
didn't get it until the 15th, and Fedex does run on Saturday. At least
now I know what $12 buys.
