I finished up The Dynaco A-40XLs. Their owner was flying in from somewhere last night at about Midnight and asked my to put the speakers in front of my door so he could pick them up at 1 AM or so. (He has already paid me for my work via PayPal.) I did so.
But when I went out to check this morning, the speakers were still there.
My hypothesis is that his plane was delayed by the computer screw up that is affecting flights, businesses, etc. Our system was down at Guitar Center yesterday.
Have you been affected by the glitch/hack, or whatever it is? I haven't really researched it. Does it involve Big Brother Microsoft somehow?

Yes, it was a Microsoft global outage and the inconvenience was caused everywhere. Fortunately no one was traveling yesterday in our family. My elder daughter was on train and she had the printout of ticket. She faced no issues. I avoided doing any digital money transactions as it was suggested by few on the news channel. My husband has a flight tomorrow night and I hope that all goes smooth.

Microsoft is having issues, they are being attacked from every angle. I'm sorry that man's flight was screwed up, that's pretty common.

@TheHorse He will get there, probably just delayed somewhere.

It did involve Microsoft but it wasn't their fault. It was a coding error in a software update from a security company called CrowdStrike. Never heard of them but apparently they are worth Billions (or they were) and they are in charge of security for many worldwide organisations.
