Thumbs down itunes - 01-24-2008, 02:20 AM

hey vik,

smooth as silk - no issues with iPod and iTUnes integration at all - although I didn't have nearly as many problems as you seem to have while using it under Widnow (I did see your post about this yeterday as well..) I won't recommend Mac if your main requirement is iTunes. It's way too exensive for that....
