I'm glad you are excited! But a word of advice to those receiving
these. One rule I learned was Never, ever open up & install something
this exciting the first day. Let it sit in the box overnight. At most
open it up and enjoy that first night's sleep without any issues.

A corollary to this is Never install such a device on a Friday or
Saturday. If an issue pops up, then most likely you have the entire
weekend to wait. Sunday afternoon is best. That way you can pray to
your God that it will work and it will be easier to contact someone on
Monday when you have problems.

Good luck!
