RE: Is PartnerWorld Signin Broke This Morning?

Toshiba's checkout has a screen that appears over the purchase page so
you can't click order more than once.  I thought it was pretty nifty.
Unlike the rest of my absolutely horrible experience with Toshiba.

I like the online order systems that warn, "It may take several minutes
for your order to complete. Do not click the button more than once or
your order may be entered multiple times." 

Old programming priorities like reliability and response time have been
replaced by a GUI with Flash graphics.

Online systems in general are failing more and more.  Dell's online site
is insane.  It makes you walk through the entire process, including
entering your credit card information, only to fail with a message that
says you must talk to a service representative.  None of the information
is saved, and you have to essentially re-enter your order over the
phone.

It took us over an hour and a half to order a new laptop for my daughter
last night.
