CBS Online Wait

Post by BobcatBulldog » Thu Mar 15, 2007 9:36 am

Just wondering who else was spending there day in the office watching basketball. Its 9:30 and I am currently 35,646 in line to watch some basketball, but there 60,000 people behind me. Suckers. There should have given up on work much sooner.

If I remember right from last year, once the games actually start the wait gets fairly short

Hmmm, it appears that both the general and the VIP lines have stopped moving, maybe I won't make it in.

I think catamaran is correct though, I seem to remember that once things got rolling the VIP line cleared out completely and the general line moved through very fast.

I got past that part and was able to pick windows media player but now it won't play anything. Above the video it says "NOW PLAYING: Please Select a Game" but there is nothing to select. :evil: Back to the line to try again I guess.

Woohoo, I am back through the line and in and it now allows me to watch things actually, imagine that!

Thanks to the good Samaritan who is kindly letting me use his VIP login so I could make it back in early.
