Hmm, It asked for my payment info, I clicked the gold button, and then the server was too busy. I wonder if I got one.

In IE7 (not sure with anythign else) you have to keep the mouse over I Want It, or nothing happens.

If you use firefox, you will be able to order the BOC with no problems. IE will give you server too busy error, but FF keeps trying. I just got two.

I can't even get the page to load whatsoever. Maybe you're seeing a cached page?

They REALLY need to stop offering these things during a WootOff. Too many people are watching the site, and it gets hammered. Maybe they should just randomly put one up around 3:30 in the morning on a normal day, just to give folks a chance to click before the server crashes.

Is there a pageload 'timeout' setting in firefox? Too late to adjust now, but maybe next time.

....got a partial page load on the final confirm...

Damn you, "server too busy," damn you!

I think I got one. I think... at least I got to the 'your order is processing' page...

"Sorry, we're now sold out of this item or we don't have enough left to complete your order." --DOH!
