Default Nikon D90 ackward Canadian packaging

The outer box is 9"x9l"x13h" with the 18~105 VR kit. My shelves are 11"
high, so the box will be laid down so markings are hidden, or the outer
shell gets tossed. Nikon Canada seems to make a point of changing the boxes
and box layout. The D700 is an ackward size, but it fits the shelf because
they don't bundle it with a lens. Many stores have fixed 12" shelves!

Typical of Nikon Canada...

It's a plot by Nikon to punish Canadian camera owners.
The same plotters who turn my traffic lamp to red as I approach the
corner!

Is "ackward" a Canadian word?

Yes.. if you're really nice, we may allow you to use it. It's got it's
roots in Bill the Cat.

According to the ACK! treaty, it'll cost you a beer... a real one, not
one of those .000000031% you guys use down there..

I don't do caffiene, so that sounds okay to me. At 61, I'm still young
enough that I don't need it to stay awake.
