Well guys, I logged onto the iTunes store the other day and came away with ten tracks which I have long wanted, but couldn't be pushed to buy the albums they were from. I surprised meself in some of me guilty pleasures. For example, I got 'Guitar Man' by JJ Cale but also 'Dancehall Days' by Wang CHung, a song that has mythic proportions. There are entire websites devoted to that tune. Anyway, a new way in music and I like it.

I had always had a penchant for Scritti Politti...songs about Derrida, etc. - Don't know how to make those winking faces.

Yeah, I've long been a supporter of itunes. The opening of the music store is great. Steve Jobs and his team are complete genius'. All I need now is a credit card to bleed dry.

I feel the need to balance this discussion out by posting this (if it hasn't been already) http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/images/iProduct.gif (in fairness, iTunes is good, but Steve Jobs needs the odd kick every now and then to keep him honest and deflate that mammoth ego)

ive never found the funny side to that skit to be honest. ive been an apple user for over a decade and i dont seem to fit that bill, as I suppose very few apple users do. the funny thing is that I have and use PCs as well (again as would a lot of apple users) but it doesnt seem to work the other way round, ergo if I slag off windows at least i know what Im on about, but a lot of people who slag off apple have never actually used one of the machines

I've used both Windows and Mac extensively and a shedload more (I remember the speccy and zx81, I do.. wanders off into pointless nostalgia..) but thats not what the skits about. And hey, its just a joke, don't take it to heart! There are people out there who do have insane brand loyalty (not just apple users), doesn't mean you're one of them.
