I used the iTunes Music Store yesterday: I knew something was up because it didn't always work first
time. I attributed it to traffic volume. Obviously, the zombie
was at work.

Knowing what I know now, i am quite impressed that the billing
system and the site downloads worked as well as they did!; Posted by: mlindl Posted on: 06/16/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
