It wasn't working the other day when I tried it but it is today. When I tried accessing the site using firefox it behaved the way I expected but now that has the new "features" too.
It looks like they were updating their web engine and managed it a bit poorly - maybe they ship to a lot more countries now? The list is huge.
Anyway, all appears to be well.

Plus I get a strange pleasure out of picking on the past-pop-cultural ignorance of yout's (probably because they think I'm the one who doesn't know anything).

This thread is an example of how bad rumors get started, star trek reminiscing aside.
I suggest the OP change the thread title. Perhaps there could be a poll as to what it should be...

i had a conversation with someone about the Star Wars trilogy. Blank stare. This was with a grown up. How old did I feel? I swear my knees felt a bit sore after that.
