Ebay Needs to Increase Bandwidth

[Whizbang]

I usually wait for "super" deals on Ebay.  Last night was better than average.  I had three hard drives lined up, one a new XBox 8gig  pull, and two 6.4gig drives from reliable sources for peanuts.  They make good Linux drives, if you like to collect the Linux variations to compare.  I waited until 3 minutes were up to bid, usually plenty of time even to re-bid; but I never had the chance.  The Ebay server was so loaded down that the bid screen never came up.  I set there with my head on my keyboard in a state of semi-paralysis.  The only way I can bid successfully is to wait until the owls start hooting in the woods and the Ebay kiddies are in bed.  Someone give me a towel please.      :'(
