Precision machined spinning tops...the latest trend!

Well that was fun.

Was repeatedly refreshing the page as quickly as it would let me at launch time, they appear, bam bam got a flamed SS in my cart and checking out. As I'm pasting in the fields it hangs and says "updating cart" a couple of times, I guess it was validating address or calculating shipping or something but either way it was a delay. Then I finally get it all done and hit "Purchase". It gives me a "completing your order" message with a wait crawl below it. 45 minutes later it still says the same thing, "completing your order". I'll have to wait until I get home to see if I got an email order confirmation but I'm not optimistic.

Can't check your email now?

Just give us all the email/password. We'll check for you.

I have multiple email accounts for various purposes, but this one is an old POP3 account I only get on my home system.

Was it .....BEFORE THE INTERNET?

Was it .....BEFORE THE INTERNET?

From before webmail... and broadband.

There is a web-based interface to the server but it removes the messages from the server once they have been downloaded to the local machine so there's no point looking there. Doubt I could even remember the password anyway.

Just get a SS and flame it yourself
