Well, this is turning out to be a little frustrating (I thought it might.) Almost 2 hours spent trying to give Apple a lot of money. Too bad their servers can't handle the load. How many people could really be hitting the Apple store right now? A million? I doubt it. They should be able to handle the load. Maybe they should look into Solaris. Anyway, I keep trying to place the order and I keep getting server errors (too much load, I'm pretty sure) and then after 5 or 6 times my session will time out and I have to start all over. Of course the whole time I'm on hold (voice) with them as well, just in case someone picks up. Anyway, the last time I had to go back to the beginning and start over it is showing that I have an order being processed (even though I never got any message over the web telling me that they acknowledged the order.) Unfortunately when I check the order status it just says my account is being revised. Grrrr. It might be possible that I ordered the same machine like 80 times. I wonder what the limit on that card is?
And you thought blogs were only full of crappy, uninteresting, self-centered ramblings... oh, wait....
[update: Well, something got ordered. Unfortunately, I've already received 6 email confirmations, and there seems to be another one in my mailbox every time I check. I sure hope they realize I don't want 80 versions of the exact same order.]
If you get doubles, you can trade 'em with your friends! I've got an old TI calculator you might be interested in...
I keep getting more and more identical confirmations from Apple, but hopefully this won't be a disaster of duplication (well, except for the duplicate new optical mouse I snuck onto the order so I can have one for my now aging b&w G3. Don't tell MB.)
