This is such a perfect example of just what has been being said by so many in this thread. It's their way or nothing is the Apple paradigm. How overjoyed was I to find that the great looking little iPod that we had bought for a blind friend did not simply allow any combination of audio files to be directly dragged and dropped (or batch copied) onto a mounted drive as every other brand of portable music player had allowed to date. In fact it was worse than that, of course I found out that iTunes was required and then found that it wasn't supported for that model iPod on the O/S that the intended owner was running. Apple's solution, upgrade to an O/S to suite, you gotta be joking! I have set up all sorts of specialist computer systems and networks with complex automation and management systems which require flexibility, PCs and the multitude of ways that they can be configured and addressed has always offered the ultimate solution. -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
