I received this blurb from tech support and thought it might be of interest. <snip> Jeff, Thank you for your email. I'm glad to hear that you were finally able to complete your order. I have located it in our system and your order number is xxxxxxx. Please be aware that as we have received over 1000 orders for these CDs to date, our distributor is experiencing some lag time in shipping the orders out. Please allow two to three weeks for delivery. I apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause you, but appreciate your patience in this matter. Also, I wanted to let you know that we are in the process of adding more servers to help with the increased traffic and you should see a definite speed-up on our site as well as a reduction in time-out errors. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me directly.

That's interesting. When I placed my order about 5% of the $4.95 CD's said "limit 5 CD's per order" on the CD listing. The vast majority of the $4.95 CD's did not say this. Beacause of this I assumed they meant that you could not order more than 5 copies of any _one_ of those CD's that had that disclaimer listed. I think for the people that ordered before the disclaimer was added to all of the $4.95 CD's that they are going to have to honor our orders. Just wondering did they specifically clarify that you couldn't order more than 5 copies of any one title, or more than 5 _different_ CD's in the entire order?

Ok I just talked to them. It _is_ a limit of 5 CD's total per order. But they said if you ordered before they added the disclaimer to all of the $4.95 CD's your order will be fulfilled no matter how many you ordered. They also said 2-4 weeks to fulfill orders.
