Seems FedEx also "misplaced" copies of the CD's for Apples major new
multimedia architecture (which is still in the nondisclosure stage, so
read all about it in MacWeek, not from me).

Apple's payoff: "just in time" delivery directly to the conference
floor (and having the speaker sign for the shipment was kinda
special), and free FedEx tee shirts for the group members, who ended
up passing them out to very impressed developers.
