Dear AC: As someone(s) pointed out, it will take but a mere brushing acquaintance with any of Real's annoying tactics/products to permanently build disenchantment, dislike and total disdain.
It would have been one thing if Real had tried to compete with quality and innovation, rather than a limited half-off offer from a company most of us have learned to distrust.
I own two i-Pods and have had my issues with Apple(battery life, etc)--but the fact of the matter is, the music sounds terrific, is convenient to carry & organize and the company does not nag you until you hate them as does Real.
I am also not likely to buy a Mac, nor have I ever bought a single tune from i-Tunes.
