So, nobody else feels like they earned some sort of shirt (like above) today?
It was an epic battle of the credit card-wielding consumer against the giant corporations! Everyone that was successful should wear their "win" on their chest! 🙂

It's a funny shirt, I'll give you that

I'm the only Apple geek in my crowd so no one would get it either. It is pretty funny though. You should make that your avatar here!

I had not received my E-mail confirmation for my order through the Apple Store dot com so I just called up and waiting on hold to talk to a rep. The very nice young lady assured me that my order was good, that my credit card payment/authorization had been approved, and that the system was really bogged down and some E-mail confirmations might take up to 24 hours.
While we chatted, she said that she has not had the ability to manual input a pre-order for the entire day. The system was simply too loaded down with traffic. She further told me that I got lucky when I decided to place my order between 5:30am and 6:30am (pacific) because that was a period with the least server problems during the day. I explained to her that I had actually started trying at 1am, gave up at 2:30am, got some sleep, and then tried again at 6:15am (which went through on the first try).
At any rate, I feel like I earned such a shirt and, if I was going to an Apple Store to pick up my iPhone 4, I'd definitely wear the shirt to the store that day! 🙂

I survived, I was doing the ordering like 20 times trying to get the order through and finally at 7 this morning and got my conformation email like 5 min ago

That's a different shirt thread! 😀
I'm seriously thinking of having one of the above shirts made for my personal use. We've got places in the mall that make these while you wait. I think it would be a hoot. Granted, not everyone would "get it". But there are thousands of people who would. 🙂

i'd wear that shirt, even if a lot of my friends didnt get it. Plus then if you ever went anywhere in public im sure somebody would mention it and you'd get some attention. It's a good conversation starter lol.
I find the shirt to be pretty funny.
