"thing I recommended was wiping the harddrive and installing their favorite OS (in their case, Windows XP)."
I find that using 40 Grit sandpaper to wipe both sides of each platter in the harddrive removes a problematic OS, and makes it impossible for someone to bedevil the computer with another problematic OS. There's a lot less computer frustration all-around.
Just make sure to scour all of that coppery-looking residue off.
No where is this more apparent than comparing the work of Noastramus before, and after, he met the fetching Marie Rocque on a trip to Nice.
Previous to this, his qautraines were known for their poetic quality and predictive power.
After Cupid's arrow struck him, his writings were reduced to doggerell of no predictive ability, such as "Purple space alien destroy Russia in 1983", "Small Bears of Shicageau Win World Series 2001", "Cylons Led by Picard Destroy Babylon 4 in 2525", and "Matrix III Better than Matrix I".
"It is not Nap2 nor iTunes fault that they do not carry live recordings or obscure artists"
I know this, but it is their services that I have the choice to take or leave, and I have pretty much quit with them for the time being.
"One, most bootleg live recordings are awful"
I found some fantastic ones on Napster, long ago.
"Should they mix and match? This would take time and money, not to mention the money to get all of this arranged."
No, it would not. The fans would buy these "raw" files and sort them out.
"But it seems you've conceded this point"
Only part way. There are difficulties in selling the "bootlegs" in a legit fashion, but it is not quite what you describe.
"As far as obscure and/or independent music, that's where you come in.
I'm thinking more in terms of older stuff that has fallen out of print.
"How does some obscure small label band know that its fans want their music on iTunes"
With this, there is a technical possibility of iMusic, Nap2, and the others of logging and checking their searches, and finding out which bands and songs are being searched for and coming up with 0 hits. Then they know what has demand that they are not carrying.
I meant iMusic, not iTunes! My mistake. I'm not sure about Napster, but it appears that iMusic only has downloads in an obscure difficult-to-use format that requires (apparently) burning the files onto a CD and then ripping them from the CD in order to get useful MP3 files. If this is true, that, my friend, is a kludge.
I've pretty much given up on iTunes and Napster 2 and the others for the time being. Only rarely do they have a specific song I am looking for. I also don't think they will ever, of course, carry the rare concert recordings that were easy to get on Napster 1.0 in its heyday (the stuff the RIAA can't whine about: they refuse to take our money for it in any way, anywhere).
If the RIAA wants the legal downloads to flourish, they should get serious about selling the music.
"Anyway, here in Toronto you get your picture taken almost everytime you take a cab..."
Hate to break it to you, but that is not a cab. All this time, you've been getting into one of those instant photo booths. This explains why it smells better than you would expect, why you always get a picture, and why when you get out you are always at the same place where you started.
I think this should be taken up with People for the Ethical Treatment of Anime, a group devoted to the protection of animated characters (digital and drawn).
They came into being back in 1983 when the founder was playing Ms. Pac-Man and cried when she saw Inky being eaten. This later led to a protest campaign against "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" when it was realized that animated characters were erased during the production of the film.

Now about the lawsuit-proof name "Darlsux" ?
Now, when Magneto is weakest, it is the time for the X-Men to strike and remove the threat of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants forever!
"Lindowz" .... it IS a change!
"Windows"... why not go all the way?
