I do remember being in 6th grade, back in the mid-1980s. I ordered my first "real" RC car from Sheldon's Hobbies in California. Back then, shipping was 6-8 weeks. Every day on my way home from school I would wonder if it would show up. Took a long time. Finally one night (it was in the winter, so it might have been 5pm) the UPS truck shows up. UPS trucks were rare back then, at least in the suburbs.

Not that there's any real lesson from that, just that I know what it's like to be young and anxious.
