What we need is an ultimate final plan that would round up all the bloody Muslims. Put them to work in some camps, and then slowly kill them off until systematic death factories can be produced.
Wait . . . I'm starting to sound like Arnold, I mean Adolf.
I've installed the update (very tiny) on my iBook 700. However, I am waiting until I finish looking through/. before hitting restart (just in case--I can't be left out of the loop).
So the Software Update icon is dancing happily in the Dock.
You wrote: My favorite feature has to be the ability to export to PDF. It's one of the reasons why I still use OO even though I almost always have access to Microsoft Office.
But in Mac OS X, all you have to do is "Print/Save as PDF." You can do it in any application that you can print from, even M$ Office X.
Wait, maybe you are one of the unenlightened ones . . .
Not a bad idea for those with an abundance of time (I have a 2.5-year-old to take care of and entertain, so I wouldn't be able to take advantage of this).
My son 2.5-year-old son calls for me before his mother.
I am his #1 and closest caretaker.
Of course that means that I don't have time to do all the things mentioned here and in the article (unless I define reading Classics as reading picture book classics).
Still It is a great feeling that more men should feel.
I was just wondering how many others (besides me), who use the public library to try out and rip CDs instead of P2P. Sure the selection is not as good as P2P (except for Classical music, which is my primary choice), but there is no problems with RIAA, lawsuits, viruses, crappy downloads, etc. You only have to look out for scratches and dirt on the CDs before ripping.
Or is it too uncool in the U.S. to go to the public library?
If you are a worshiper of Apple and have a proper fear of the Apple god, then why would you want an MP3 player that has not been touched by the hand of god?
From Wester's 3rd New International Dictionary:
fear 4. to have a reverential awe of (e.g., fear of God; God fearing)
It is times like these that I am glad that I live in Europe and have yet to purchase a cell phone (one of the.0001% of Swedes who do not have a cell phone).
My iBook 700 (combo) sometimes will think that it has to have at least one program in the foreground (I like to leave mail, iCal, and safari running but hidden). When I hide the last program another pops unhidden.
A reboot fixed it, but this morning it started doing it again after waking the computer up.
The EU has had this system in place for a long time. Buy a book from Amazon.de and you pay the German VAT (European for Sales Tax). Buy from Amazon.co.uk and you pay the Queen's VAT. Buy from a Swedish store and you're screwed by a score of 25% (highest VAT in EU--and I live here, ouch!).
Within the EU you pay the VAT (European for Sales Tax) of the country the seller lives in. There are no duties or tariffs within the EU. Store only need to worry about the tax their country collects.

The iPod and iTMS are the most well-conceived and PROPERLY implemented ideas I've seen coming out of a computer company.
The mods screwed up rating you insightful. You last line shows that you are really a troll using a true (usually--just not in this case) statement to get Macheads enraged.
Go ahead and try to use the Dell DJ and DMS. I'm sure they will be anything but easy to use compared to the iPod and iTMS.

You've never boughten a classical CD have you?

I've been complaining to Apple to add all the text info in the liner notes for classical music on iTMS since it opened.
Maybe someday they will realize that people buy other types of music besides pop and rock - music that is greatly enhance if you have the liner. [/rant]
I try CDs out and copy the ones I like via the public library. There is a very good selection of things I listen (classical and jazz). Since I don't like pop or rock (except classic rock like Pink Floyd), I have no need to use P2P to get MP3s, where trying to get a all the movements to a symphony is a major pain.
It is much simpler to go to the library (gets me some exercise, since I have to bike there). Find what I like (the CDs are well organized), listen, then rip what I like. I even get to look at the liner notes (could copy them if I had money for the copier or a scanner).
Seems safer (no lawsuits), simpler, and healthier.
At the Willy:s (cheapest supermarket chain in Sweden but with crap selection) here in Orebro, they have installed TVs in every checkout aisle. TVs which play nothing but ads (ads for Willy:s products and for anything else [e.g., Hotel in town] that is paid for).
So much for peace and quiet while waiting (and we wait much longer here in Sweden at the checkout than in the U.S.--something about the midnight sun or cheap-ass companies who don't hire enough part-timers)

You can ship that new Mac to me.
Most of the downloaders probably can't even drive a car yet, so they don't care about a boughten CD not working in the car.
They only think. $19.95 or $0.00.
