Thanks, boghog.

Finally got first one.

Why is it that I can never get one. I have been trying for years and it never goes through. I have great internet service yet it just locks up every time. Why me? I guess I am destined to never get one. It just went through and now it says sold out. .............................

I'd be willing to wager you'll get your Box of Crackers. The only sure way to tell is when the disgruntled FedEx guy working overtime because of a Woot-Off chucks your Box through your new stained glass window.

ARGH. Missed out on this one too. Clicked the gold button, waited...

this USB dongle allows you to connect wirelessly to a router. yes the signal is two way, receive and send.

this USB dongle is NOT a REPEATER or wifi hub.

that means you cannot connect other portable devices to it, and then use it to access the internet. This device only allows your computer that you plug it into to access your router which connects to the internet.

besides, if you have a wireless router in your house already, you can just set your phone or device to connect directly to it.

so your trying to tell me if i have a wired desktop and i plug this into my computer and configure ICS for argument sake it wont work? WRONG it will work just fine. buy me one i will show you. Work as a repeater sure.. buy me 2 of them!

Bull crap! I have been trying since last summer. We, the Hitchhikers.... If I could fly an airplane into your building I would!

I clicked want one and it prompted me to give my card number which i did... however with a slip of the hand i made an error to which it asked me to correct. SO i did and it took me to where i click "buy it" and then it takes me back to the I need a lift! saying there was an error the item was sold out..... was make the error in typing enough to loose my Big Orphaned Cetacea even tho i was on the order confirmation page!?!?!?

The gods were smiling on me today! I managed to snag one when there was 10% left according to Wootalyzer. I didn't think I was going to get one. DH managed to snag one at work as well so double the Wooty Goodness! My eight year old was jumping up and down with joy.

I hit the button within 1 second, yet it just hung there for 10 minutes....dammit!! I guess I should consider myself lucky - still trying to find a home for the junk I got last time...anyone need a baby bottle drying rack or Eyeclops carrying case?!?!

Seems I'm always at work with a crappy connection when the Big o' Cosmos comes up. Never got one.. Boo Hoo!

YES! got my second Big o' Cosmos, been waiting for almost 2 years, thanks woot!

My wife notified me of the Big Orphaned Cetacea, thinking I missed out I kept cleaning around the house.. Then 5 minutes later went to woot found it was still available and put in a buy. I should have put in two more orders, it was still up for an additional 2 minutes.

I can't beleive it. I finally broke my cherry.I ordered my first bag of carp and got it. My goodness, and zippidy do da. After all these years and I'm no longer a virgin. Thank you, WOOT.

This has got to be at least 10 fails, probably more. I still have never got a Big o' Cosmos.

I gotta start "cheating" with utility bots lke the rest of you guys. clearly legit web mashing just doesn't work for me.

So bummed.

Tortured to the very end.

Site Loaded, order page loaded, order processing........DENIED!!!

Now to sulk and curse the server for missing out again.

Dear Woot!

Whatever you changed in the past few months to make the Bags of Crap last longer...stop it! Change it back! Your servers have always been crappy, but at least when the order page was loaded it didn't bog down for the rest of the process. Now it is just ridiculous! I'm not sure if it is worth my time anymore. Before it was hit or miss with servers not loading. Now it loads the order page but it becomes a crap shoot whether or not the rest of the process will be completed in time. This sucks! And it has happened the past few bags.

You better get your stuff together or this relationship may end. And yes...that is an ultimatum!

Sincerely yours
Your fellow wooter

12 months and 15 woot offs and now...
I just lost my Big o' Cosmos cherry!

"This sale is sold out."

Crap. So close None for me. This woot overcharged me on tshirts and the Boggy Creature escapes me again!!! Worst Woot EVAR!!!!!!!

got to click the big gold button 3 times before sold out, crashed each time. Then finally get through to the sold out page.......maybe they should find a good deal on server/bandwidth upgrades.

We, the Hitchhikers, got to the purchase screen, and then now just stuck at loading. We, the Hitchhikers woot, get your servers Battlefield Earth (2000) together. Who do I complain to for this Battlefield Earth (2000).

Yeah!!!! After four years and 58 woots .... Finally got one! And of all things, got it using my Google phone!

Big Orphaned Cetacea. Big Orphaned Cetacea. Big Orphaned Cetacea. how many ways does Woot! change the words? Big o' Cosmos. Big o' Cosmos.

Edit: Two, I guess.

It has taken 4 years to finally score my 1st Big Orphaned Cetacea! I am now one of the annoited ;)

Got myself one... Always helps to have 30 windows open and keep clicking the i want one button one after another.

I got robbed! I was at the check out stage and then it came back and said the sale was invalid. Talk about a Big o' Cosmos!?#$*()@!

Big o' Cosmos is a POC. Sitting right here when it started and never did make it to even the check out button. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr foiled again, oh the humanity!

Shut out again! Sadness...

Probably wouldn't have worked with my Mac anyway...

Got one! Yay!!!

Whoop whoop. Was stuck after clicking the Buy button but got the email to confirm it! One Balloon of Condoms coming my way!

5 years of Big o' Cosmos fail. Screw it.

Curses, foiled again!

couldn't flippin login. I refreshed and BAM it had just appeared, 1 comment, then gone.

WOO HOO! After a year of trying off and on to get it, I finally got myself a Big Orphaned Cetacea. Thanks Woot! And thanks Wootalyzer for giving me the quick notice that the Big Orphaned Cetacea was up!

every time....push the "BUY IT" button and the session times out...every friggin' time.

Gotta love the Big o' Cosmos!

Sold out again. Curse my metal body, I wasn't fast enough. It's been YEARS and no crap for me. I suck. :P

Gotta love the Big o' Cosmos!
