They seem a victim of their success, other seem to have had the same idea and 
server ran out of balls^H^H^H^H^resources. The page is a redirect, source is:

<html>
<head>
<title>CheapBytes Store</title>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT="0; URL=/cgi-bin/cart">
</head>
<body BGCOLOR=WHITE>

<A HREF="/cgi-bin/cart"> The Best Open Source Site on the Net! </A>
</BODY></HTML>

Hope the dumb mail filter doesn't decide I'm posting in HTML... :-(

The cgi-bin isn't getting run, probably sick with too many orders. I would 
expect it to resume working soon, and you can order from them. They've been 
around a while, I use them sometimes myself.
