In the wee small hours of the Hey! The Apple Store is down

With Nik covering the early-morning East Coast shift from his perch on the way, way East coast, I rarely get to do this anymore... but since I already stayed up way past my bedtime, I'll share with you all that the Apple Store is down. It's almost certainly routine maintenance. Really. Almost 100% certain. Could be new laptops. No. Too close to Leopard. But maybe something.

OK, sure, not much to get excited about... but it's 1 am here in NYC, and I should have been in bed two hours ago, so why not let you all know?

Update 8 am ET: As noted below, the store has gotten a new look overnight.

Thanks David & Chase, you sleep-thieving rats.
