Not everyone loves Steve's parties

Yeah, while we were all geeking out and refreshing the Engadget page ad nauseam, the world continued to spin as it always does. Sure, there are bigger things in the world to consider like how to keep your linens fresh.

And to painfully remind me of this fact, there's my wife. She's a fan of the Mac, after I made a convert of her several years ago (with an iBook G3 no less). But she's not obsessed like me. And when I started gushing about all the new toys today, she wasn't really interested.

To further drive home her point, she started playing around in the iTunes Music Store. She didn't update iTunes, so it's still called the "music" store. Now, she's doing this at about 2:45 pm Eastern time. Any sane Mac zealot such as myself would say this is a bad idea. And it was-- errors popped up repeatedly while she attempted to buy "50's cruising music" for my son's "Cars" themed birthday party. Samples failed to load, and sometimes putting something in her cart was a multi-click affair. See, she's not even sold on the 1-click joyness! Ultimately she gave up, not downloading anything yet at my request. She turns to me and says, "have all your geek buddies messed up iTunes or something?" "Yes," I say, "we broke it with our love." I guess one person's party is another's poison...
