"At night?" Whose night? The Earth is round, and open 24 hours a day, you know.

Of course they do. Apple are trying to be the most green company on the planet, so they purposely switch off all the servers every night ... besides, the little Apple elves running the store have to get some sleep some time.
Buzz & Eric5h5,
I can see you're having fun. But not really being very helpful. I've tried resetting Safari, although I don't believe that's the problem since FireFox doesn't work either. I'm going to try logging as a different user on my Mac, something suggested by an Apple tech article. Hopefully...

its the
gods telling you not to even think about getting a new mbp till after the 27th....
Like previous posters have said, wait until after the Apple event on the 27th to be sure you get the latest and greatest Apple product (and don't worry when the store goes down after the keynote, it's normal when update new products).
Well, it is "normal" for Apple, but most other webstores would push a simple "publish" button rather than taking the entire store down for hours.
cederalow,
Why, yes. Hasn't made any difference. I've talked with one Apple guy so far, no explanation yet. There's talk of a clean install--which I'm avoiding like the plague.
Went ahead and ordered MPB this am by phone. Point is becoming moot. Until I want to buy something else from Apple....

Looking at the source code, the site only loads this amount of code:
Anyone's ideas would be appreciated, thanks.
