I do get upset when I see it -- though I visit Amazon.com extremely rarely so 
I've never seen it there. It is a common enough occurrence across the web 
however. Still, I prefer it to the alternative of no notice at all but a pop-up 
message box saying "Server not responding" or similar.

(OTOH, I've noticed a major drop during the past year in the number of "Server 
too busy" pages that were all too common before. Technology does advance.)
