At Office Max, no cash register network, no deal
Technical difficulties appear to have marred one of OfficeMax's biggest Black Friday sales.
The office retailer is selling Norton Anti-Virus software for $19.99 -- down from its usual $99.99.
But the cash register network needed to activate the software purchase went down earlier this morning at the Greensburg store, and one employee said the network outage was affecting locations nationwide.
The Norton software must be activated when purchased so the same disc can't be used on multiple devices. The network needed for those activations is also used for gift card purchases.
Shoppers at the Greensburg site were told they could return later to buy the software at the Black Friday price.
