- PowerPC architecture: abandoned
- Motorola CPU: abandoned
- SCSI interface in Desktop machines: abandoned
- Proprietary Operating System (System 7,8,9): abandoned
- One button mouse: abandoned

etc...

^ despite claims by the pea brain Quack Quack, I wouldn't be surprised either that it was indeed the iPOD.

What did the wife say?

Interestingly enough, I just watched a past Apple Keynote address last night where they talked about remote wiping your iphone if it gets lost or stolen, then all you had to do to restore it was to connect it to your computer and turn on itunes. Not sure if it's related, by sounds similar?

^ correct.

Apple still owns all the equipment they lease you - they have the final say with what you do with their electronics and software.

So that's why they wiped out my entire music collection and my I-pod is now a useless piece of hardware.

Without I-tunes it works as HDD. Hmmmm.

iTunes 9 is out, full of new bugs and extraordinary features like to better organized your music files

She says she didn't plug it in but I think she must have done.

I remember once, when we first got the ipod that I used it in 'Mass Storage Mode'. Maybe I forgot to delete those files off the ipod and there's some kind of auto update function on this thing.

The other thing that I didn't notice before is that there are 2 copies of every music file I had. So it really should only have been 11gig's.

Saw that iPhone bit and the Safari bit and declined downloads. Always do.

iTunes itself I find to be superior to MS Media Player. Initially iTunes was not as good but has improved over the last couple of years.

not much of a benchmark

I still run winamp lite on the win pc if I play music on it , but I find it is not the device I use for music like I used to many years ago.

I run WMP 10. Better library functionality than all the others I've tried including WMP 11.

typical mac fuckup,

WinAMP 3/4/5 is the best, and WMP is not that bad, WM8 and WM9 have better functionality than any iTunes version out there

iTunes, overbloated crap and completely dysfunctional in true Mac style
