My objection stems from the fact that someone buys a cool piece of hardware and expects that they
will be able to use it, that it belongs to them. Now if your going to try to force me to use your
software then at least make it available to everyone, it just seems like they are also trying to
dictate what OS to use. It may be petty of me to raise such a point but i am only human. Anyway
thanks for the info about the newer ipods. I am trying to set one up for a family member on F8 and
wasn't having much luck, even with the new libgpod but i was pretty sure it was me that was
missing something and i didn't know what. I appreciate the pointer whether it works for me or
not!!
