This happened to me once. I had to navigate to the item from the top
menu to keep the shopping cart in the session, but suppose you perform
a search which ends at some knowledge base page which then has a link
to the item and you try to put it in the cart, you have effectively
cleared out the session and get a newly initialized cart.

I think MIS has to do something to maintain the session id as we
navigate throughout their website. It's very possible they're hosting
the FAQ type pages in a separate server than the shopping one.

I sent them some comments on other issues but forgot about this one
until now. The comments I put in a survey after purchasing something
yesterday.
