    I have some stuff for pick-up and postponed going to Jenson until the "parking lot" sale. Can I just go there, pick up my stuff AND also PICK from the lot sale? Hehe :p

    *sigh* Here I am, with credit card and a list on my desk. Thought this would be a breeze.

    if they can't handle people viewing the site, they'll be even more screwed when people start ordering. imagine the transactions per second once people register or login and submit orders. yay! :wave:

    Now Jenson can't even sell their regular merchandise! They are going to lose sales for 1/2 day.

    Ya, this blows. They were assured that this wouldn't happen. I got to the first page after 20 minutes then tried to go to the forks and it just froze again. Forget it. I think I like the old way better. At least the old way I had a fighting chance.

    Should it be called the "Virtual Parking Lot Fail" then? It was slow from 9:01. Maybe things will smoothen out as the day goes on.
