After pushing the "I want one" button several times, I started getting the 503 error message that their servers went down. Kept hitting refresh every 15-30 seconds (it took that long for the next 503 message to come up), and after 5 minutes or so I got the 2nd screen. Put in my 3-digit number and hit the button, and got more 503 messages. After another 5 minutes or so hitting refresh every 30 seconds or so, I got the 3rd screen and clicked on "buy it". So each time the servers came back up I got one screen further.<div>
</div><div>Then it was 30-45 minutes of hitting refresh every 30 seconds, but the woot.com url now said "order confirmation", so I kept trying. I also kept thinking that everyone would quit trying and their servers would come up. Then after that long the hourglass just stayed on and I didn't have to hit refresh. After about 15-20 minutes the 503 error messages changed to the usual error page like when my internet is down. But I did see that "order confirmation" in the url had changed to "order status" and the hourglass just stayed on and I didn't have to hit refresh but one more time.</div><div>
</div><div>Finally got the woot confirmation screen that my order had gone through.</div><div>
</div><div>Not sure it was worth all that time, but it's slow this afternoon and it didn't keep me from working. I'm here watching the monitors the whole time, answering the phone, writing orders, etc.</div>
