According to Apple CFO, Fred Anderson, the company quadrupled iPod sales in the last (non-holiday) quarter, selling 304,000 units for revenue of $111m.
With WindiTunes available and a holiday quarter coming up, I think we can safely say that iPod profits will go a long way to cover any operational iTMS costs.
Philip Larkin captures this situation beautifully in his poem Ignorance (1955):
Strange to know nothing, never to be sure
Of what is true or right or real,
But forced to qualify or so I feel,
Or Well, it does seem so:
Someone must know.
Strange to be ignorant of the way things work:
Their skill at finding what they need,
Their sense of shape, and punctual spread of seed,
And willingness to change;
Yes, it is strange,
Even to wear such knowledge - for our flesh
Surrounds us with its own decisions -
And yet spend all our life on imprecisions,
That when we start to die
Have no idea why.
You may be right, seigel. I had a similar problem with a non-charging battery when receiving my 2002 iceBook (running 10.2.4) back from a logic board repair. The battery would discharge as expected, but would only recharge very, very slowly. My battery was about 6 months old and I duplicated the problem with a 3 month old battery as well.
Solved the problem by resetting the Power Manager:

and I am now getting 3.5+ hrs battery life from both batteries.
Hope this might be useful as a first line strategy, before having to contact Apple, to see if it is indeed the battery which is at fault.
