"We are busy updating the store for you."

Does this happen often on weekends???? Just was reading about the Warcraft III simultaneous release of os9/osx/win coming tuesday. and routed to the store and found this.. can't remember if it happens every sunday or not.. maybe their just updating the "specials" of refurbs or something, but dunno.... maybe an early announcement!


up late -- dreaming of 1.4ghz dual g4 266dd4...... ah......

This seems to be they're chosen maintianence time.

You may see a new sw title of two, or something new in the refurb area, but not likely any product announcemts.

I think we'll have to wait until MWNY to see any new products

Don't panic Danny.

Take it easy.

we've had a LOT of threads on this subject... it seems that the apple store has been down on numerous occasions with no new stuff..

also, it isnt of apples histroy to release stuff on sundays, or the weekends for that matter, unless thereis a conference of some sort.

The thing that keeps these topics coming every year, is that Apple performs maintenance before every expo and event.

Whenever Apple is releasing products, the Apple Store usually goes down a few times about a week or two in advance. Apple is trying to make the store run smoothly so that any traffic boosts that day do not knock down the server.

Apple will likely have a few products that will have people pricing out PowerMacs after MWNY, so they're just taking a precaution.

The Apple Store is open again. I don't go there often, so I'm not sure what changes are there, if any. Maybe Time Canada can explain the downtime.
