Swipin' It Old School

From ComputerWorld:

Consumers who went to a local AT&T store also said they'd encountered problems trying to pre-order an Apple iPhone 4. "I just got back from the store and their computers are down," reported "frazzledrazz" on the AT&T support site. "They are using the old credit card imprinters.

This is not the first time that Apple, AT&T or other carrier partners have been unable to handle the crush of iPhone orders. Just last week, AT&T's account management site went dark for several hours after Apple announced that the service provider would waive contract requirements to allow more customers to upgrade to the new iPhone 4.


AT&T's servers couldn't even handle the traffic after an announcement. What a bunch of incompetent assclowns. Really instills confidence that they're prepared for the data demands of the future...
