Apple is Taking the World DOWN!

The first thing I did this morning was hop online to update my iTunes & iPhone.  I was not alone.  Reading all of the blogs...it looks like the iTunes store has crashed and burned.  Now my lovely iPhone is a nice paperweight on my desk while I pray that my connection to itunes store will come back and make it a wonderful, amazing new phone.  AGGGGH!!!!  

Also, Twitter is crashing.  AIM and Jabber too....

Gateway Drugs...

I love technology.  It's awesome.  I am not an early adopter.  I'm usually right behind them.  I prefer version 1.2 to version 1.0.

About three years ago I started jones-ing for an iPod.  Then, Apple came out with the U2 iPod.  Being a HUGE U2 fan, it was just what i needed to get over the $300 price tag for some little thing that played music.  Little did I know that it was the beginning of the end.

I loved my U2 iPod.  I was so sad the day it tumbled from my purse and landed with a clatter on the tiled floor of Cheesecake Factory bathroom.  A few days later, I began to mourn.  It started making a horrid little whirring noise when it tried to spin it's now misshapen hard drive.  A few days later, I headed to the Apple store and exchanged my autographed iPod for a 30G black iPod.  Finally.  I thought I had my fix.  The new iPod was working great.  

Then, CES January 2007. Our good buddy Steve came out with the iPhone.  Ooohh.  Ahhhh...must have new toy.  I resist.

Summer 2007, the iTouch comes out.  Back I go to the Apple store.  I pick up my iTouch.  I am in love, it's awesome.  Does everything you can think of...

A few days before CES/Macworld 2008, I'm over at my Sari's house and her husband has the new black macbook.  Shows me spaces...shows me how it can run Windows.  Cool...the idea has taken root.  Then, I head to the Big Apple where I spent some time partying in the City and also surfing on Ann's macbook.  So cool!  The day after I get back...guess where I am?  Yes, folks, that's right.  I'm at the Apple store, buying my new macbook.  Ah....it's nice.   I watch the January 2008 Stevenote...on my new macbook.  

Two days later I'm back for a mighty mouse.

The next week I'm back for a keyboard cover, genius bar and an apple care plan.

Now, I'm shopping for a time capsule and an airport extreme.

When will the madness end???
