    Just loaded fine for me. Though I assume if it is down any time soon it's because there are new powermacs right around the corner.

    It's like this for everyone right now. Someone on another board guessed that it may be to update all of the Tiger orders.

    It did the same thing to me when Apple was going to add the Final Cut Studio to the Apple Store. It should go down within a few hours.

    Well...its not hard:

    when major corporations like apple make changes their whole order infustructurer, you're talking potentialy massive amounts of space...possibly a few gigabytes. In addition, they have to test the system before they officialy post it...and they there not racing with the clock...they can post it whenever they like...
