I can not get the help section to load either. Any thoughts on this matter?

I finally got an order to go through tonight.

Hmm.. I can't believe a big ecommerce store like Buy.com would let this issue go by for that long. If they did, I'm sure they are having a huge executive meeting about it tomorrow.

I know, it surprised me too. Just think about how many people said "forget it" after a few hours and went to shop somewhere else. LOL

Yeah but once again you are not directly connecting to that site but are going through a network of hubs & routers. If you want, at the C prompt you can type: traceroute buy.com to find out if those hubs & such are working.
