Around the world, retailers, concert promoters, sports stadiums, and police stations have already noticed their numbers of customers dwindling as eager LowEndBox Black Friday shoppers begin to queue up.

Our readers are making their lists.  They’re checking them twice.  Then they’re marking down the prices they expect.

F5 Key Shortages

Computer component manufacturers are reporting a shortage of the F5 key.  Not entire keyboards – just the F5 key, as shoppers proactively replace that key on their keyboard in anticipation of the heavy load they’ll be placing on it as they refresh our site day and night.

There are reports that container shipments of keyboards from Asian manufacturers are being hijacked by pirates, who know they can resell these critical components for high prices.

One Week Away!

From Friday, November 29 through Monday, December 2 the entire world shuts down to focus on LowEnd hosting deals.  Other web sites experience a drop of up to 99.9% of all traffic as the world floods into LowEndBox and LowEndTalk looking for crazy deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.  Stadiums are empty, Netflix ratings go to zero, and ISPs melt down as the crowds throng our sites.

So if you’re a provider, sit down with your team and draw up your best offers now.  Then ticket in to LEB and we’ll get you setup.  Don’t wait!  By the time we get to November, we’ve got more offers than we can post, so get in line early.

Make your offer exciting!  Make it dirt cheap!  And make it now, so we can get you lined up to make a splash on Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2024.

Dread Lord of LowEnd Content at LowEndBox

I'm raindog308, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.

I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.

I enjoy writing technical articles here on LowEndBox to help people get more out of their systems. You can find me on LowEndTalk @raindog308
