    Worst promotion ever. Can't even get through to the site. Very disappointed with Sparkfun.

    I was able to get an order thru a few mins ago after about 6 failed attempts. I'm guessing they are turning away over 10 times as many people as they are serving and that Free Day has already been a success financially for SF and it is still T-2hrs to go.

    Now the site is dead. I wonder if they are preparing for the rush or they fall under massive pings...LOL

    Just an FYI, Sparkfun.com never responded to ping. The site itself is still breathing.

    They're shutting down parts of the website to make it as light as possible in order to keep with the brutal onslaught of impatient refresh-clickers, but to no avail. It's T-14 hours and Sparkfun.com is already pretty much done for :))
