I've been trying to use MobileMe for the better part of two days and had intermittent success with half-loaded apps, pinwheels to infinity, and missing apps.  Apparently there's now an explanation on www.mac.com (right).

Tough day for some friends in Cupertino today but I'm sure everything will be worked out by next week. I'm just hoping my tongue in cheek joke wasn't too close to the mark.
