Not the Big Brother, we-planted-a-chip-on-you, type. The where's-my-package-UPS type. I mentioned ordering RAM for my new puting Masheen and here's a copy of the info UPS puts up on the web that allows me, sitting my not inconsiderable ass at my desk to know where my physically is (roughly speaking) as it makes its way toward me:

8:00 A.M.		PHILADELPHIA, PA, US		ARRIVAL SCAN
6:38 A.M.		LOUISVILLE, KY, US		DEPARTURE SCAN
6:30 A.M.		LOUISVILLE, KY, US		A FLIGHT DELAY OCCURRED BECAUSE OF MECHANICAL REASONS
1:29 A.M.		LOUISVILLE, KY, US		ARRIVAL SCAN
Jan 6, 2005 8:32 P.M.		SALT LAKE CITY, UT, US		DEPARTURE SCAN
7:41 P.M.		SALT LAKE CITY, UT, US		ARRIVAL SCAN
7:19 P.M.		US		BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED
6:33 P.M.		BOISE, ID, US		DEPARTURE SCAN
6:02 P.M.		BOISE, ID, US		ORIGIN SCAN

My RAM has gone from Boise to Philly in 14 hours even with a flight delay which UPS was kind enough to explain to me even though I would have accepted the timing without an explanation. I somehow have the feeling that the scheduled delivery date (Monday) is going to be moot. I'm guessing it's going arrive on Saturday.
File this in "I love the Internet."
UPDATE: I was wrong. My memory has been sitting in Baltimore (or so the system says) until this am when it began its final journey to my abode. So, they told the truth. It looks like it will be a Monday delivery.
