As for renaming the files, iTunes gives them the extension.m4a, meaning MPEG 4 Audio. However, most windows media players (even Quicktime for Windows, which seems kind of odd) doesn't recognise the.m4a extension. If you rename them to.mp4 however (exactly the same file and format, just a different name) most of the players will play them..m4a is iTunes' name for.mp4.
I get a Mac, then find out that the iTunes Music Store (iMS) is US-only. And now they're bringing it out on the PC anyway. Typical! Oh well, at least there's a decent media player for Windows now (other than Winamp, that's cool), and hopefully I can play all my.m4a files on my Win machine without having to rename them all.
I've found a good way to make text easy to read for people with eyesight problems is to use the BBC's BETSIE program. It's a perl script that takes any graphical page and strips it of graphics, making the text large and easy to read. Check it out on the BBC website by clicking on the "Text Only" link in the top-left corner.
Surely the GPL is viral because any program that accepts the GPL and uses GPL code must take on the GPL as it's only licence, then anyone who uses the new code must use the GPL and so on -- exactly the way a virus spreads and so, by definition, Viral.
