    The best part about the pepsi deal is when u try to imagine the look on John Sculley's face when he reads that shit :-)

    Although I can't imagine they did it for such glorious reason. I think they did it to spawn a flamewar about pepsi vs cocacola taste.

    Pepsi tastes like shit. No hit me with your flames :-)

    Sadly, I've been meaning to download one of his exclusive tracks, and it showed up in a tenth of the time it took to rip a single track. Doh! I think Apple is trying to tell me something....

    Yeah, get some music taste :)

    If this is true, maybe Microsoft will release Office V.X for Mac for Windows!

    It's way nicer than Office XP.

    On my Mac, I ran iTunes and clicked 'Share Library'. On the Win2000 machine my Mac's music library automatically appeared in the left panel. No complex setup either.


    I just wish I was a big enough computer wiz to get sound in Debian under a 2.4 kernel. But nooo...


    My newx computer purchase will be a Mac.

    You didn't want to play songs about pimpin' ho's and killin' wangstahs at a sensetive occasion like your wedding? Sounds like it would have been "ghetto fabulous".
