Trouble at iTunes! Shoppers play the waiting game
We’ve come so far, people, so far.
Music denied — shoppers overwhelm iTunes
SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) — Swarms of online shoppers armed with new iPods and iTunes gift cards apparently overwhelmed Apple’s iTunes music store over the holiday, prompting error messages and slowdowns of 20 minutes or more for downloads of a single song.
Personally, I have vivid memories of it taking 20 minutes or more to download a Word document. Now “slowdown of 20 minutes or more” sounds so derisive.
