1. This sounds great. Have read some negative comments concerning the European stores in reagard to spelling, downloading problems and content (http://www.macintouch.com/itunes_store02.html). Evidently, those problems are not enough to keep people from buying over 100,000 songs a day. Go Apple and congratulations…….

2. Way to go Apple. Now if we can just get ITMS up in the rest of the world. I still have some APPL stock but sold a bunch at 28 🙁 and am now kicking myself for not buying more. It is hard though because I am emotionally attached to the stock ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” /> and so tend to be more cautious.

4. A great start considering all the teething problems, etc. However, don’t expect the kind of numbers that the store gets in the U.S….. at least yet.

8. For accuracy’s sake:

   UK population = 59.2 million in 2002.

   US population = 293.5 million as of this post (estimate).

9. The official population count of the entire United States as of the census of 2000 was 281,421,906. There aren’t “billions” living in the U.S. lol

10. The UK population is 1/5th the size of the U.S., not 1/100th…
