True. We actually have two connections. One 128 Kbps, and one 4
Mbps. That's slightly more than 2 T1's, if I'm not mistaken. It's
actually 2 E1's. Mail and everything passes through the 128 Kbps
line. Web traffic to our client's sites goes through the speedier
connection. We tend to host most of the sites that we build,
although that's never been even a low priority focus of ours.

It redirects to:

order1.apple.com which just happens to be the same site as
http://www.apple.com/store but with higher prices.
