30 minutes of trying from the UK. Managed to see the main page once or twice. but as soon as on the shopping cart, it dies.

Still wont stop me coming back later though as there is some parts on there that i need to finish my prototype.

Seems an lot of ppl only created accounts for today and thats all. then come to the forum to moan.

might have been nice if new accounts were frozen yesterday so its those with accounts that get to take advantage of the free day but hey.. tis the world we live in.

Just clicked the choose discount button, 1/2 an hr in. Now got a blank screen. that says done instead of paypal.

Oh well I'll keep trying for another 1/2 an hr.

Random drawing luck sounds a lot more fair than those with lucky connections being able to get in on it. *sour grapes*
Agreed.
Probably just as fair, although they do get quite a user test of their website out of this...

$3547.19 BTW...

I would have force-cleared everyone's carts at the start to avoid people jumping the starting gun. :lol:

If its 40 orders in 30 minutes, thats 960 in 12 hours. The whole 100k may not go.

They're mostly a bunch of freebie noobs who hadn't even heard of the BlueSMiRF or BatchPCB until the Free Day was announced.
