Actually, Arch Linux has a very simple init system, as shown here: http://www.archlinux.org/docs/en/guide/install/arc h-install-guide.html#bootrc. It's just like Gentoo, for that matter. I understand what you're saying about Slackware, though. All the inits for a runlevel are in a single file (from what I remember). However, I prefer the Arch/Gentoo approach since you can start and stop services using the same scripts as those used during the init process.
If I were your employer, I'd know that iPods survive drops to the ground quite well, and instead will fire you, and give the dropped iPod to a new employee.
iTunes isn't killing the demand, becuase it's roughly equivalent to download 15 songs for $0.99 per song, or pay $15 for the CD
You're quite right that iTunes isn't killing the demand for CDs, but they only charge $9.99 for an entire album, in both US and Canada (and others?). This is great since here in Canada, albums go for around $20 most of the time.

I think you meant "There still out they're."

Unless you stick a safety pin in the little hole if it's a tray loading drive.
I saw one of those on my OS X screen the other day. It actually looked like a Windows window. Kinda funny, really. Nostalgic for me anyway.
