These new mics are tripping me out. See if you can figure out what's strange about them...

Jeez, that sale broke the Bladeforums server.

Do folks just continually keep hitting refresh from 60+ seconds out?

I spent the last few weeks searching for the best roadside internet connection along my work route. Tested the connection 5 minutes before 1500 E.S.T. 60Mb/s d/l, 20Mb/s u/l.

Google and Amazon loaded almost instantaneously. Tried to get on BF 2 minutes before 1500 and it took ~15 seconds for BF to load. Looked for the locked CPK sale thread. Couldn't find it. Looked in other sections in case I was mistaken. Each time, it took 10-20 seconds to load.

Figured Nate was going to only post the sale thread AT 1500. Tried to load the page at 1459:58. Took 20+ seconds to load, but showed 0 replies. Tried to post and it took ~30+ seconds to actually load the post. By that time, I was ~50th. Lol.

I live in the heart of the silicon valley, blocks from facebook and Google. Our office has a T1 line, massive lag right when he posted..... I think I was 52, does anyone have a tissue....
