For several years now, I have been of the belief that Apple Computer could do no wrong. But after the trouble I’ve encountered since the latest iTunes upgrade and the newest iPod firmware update, I might be changing my mind. Apple? Are you listening?

I am with you 100%. iTunes 7 is a big shit pile. I still synch my 4G B&W iPod with my Windows PC and the Windows version of iTunes sucks ass! Bloated, festering software that spastically synchronizes my iPod one day and then not the next.
Here’s the screwy part: I almost took the plunge and bought a new 5G iPod to start synching with my MBP. Wouldn’t that have shown them! Make shitty software and people buy more product!
Anyway, loved seeing Lewiston! Hope you got some action.

Hello Tim! Nice to see you and your shiny clitoris again. Did you get a hair cut??? I can’t say that I’ve experienced the problems you have with the new upgrade on the firmware since I don’t upgrade
I would really really really like a nice new 80 gigger but my lovely pink 6 gig mini will have to surfice for awhile since my car went tits up last night. Maybe Casey and I can register for matching ipods for wedding gifts. Now there is a thought! Miss you!
Justin:
I’m glad I’m not the only one having iTunes problems. I just noticed yesterday that it completely deleted all my Joel Stuart Living vidcasts — WTF? I did a spotlight search, and they’re nowhere to be found on my hard-drive. Talk about “not ready for prime time”…
Arwen:
You poor little thing … No, no new hair-doo just yet. Just getting grayer and thinner. Glad your little pink iPod mini is still running, I love that thing. Still, you and Casey owe it to yourselves to get a couple of 80 giggers. Your car went tits? Brutal….
I too am a disgruntled itunes 7 user. Itunes decided to update my firmware without asking permission. Not cool considering the 1600 mile road I embarked on not knowing itunes erased ALL 3000 hand-picked songs from my 5g 30 gigger. Needless to say, not a fun road trip. Thanks, Apple…really.
