I was under the impression that it was iTunes that deleted music of immigrants to Canada.

And wasn't it last year when an iTunes installer toasted every partition on your harddrive, if it was partitioned? That, there, is quality software.

I know it has the insert indicator, but I type quickly and often have to transcribe from a book, so by the time I notice, I've usually typed over two or three sentences. That's just irritating.

I've been in Japan for a month and my iTunes purchases still work fine. The lady lost her files because she was an idiot, as should be made obvious by her voluntary move to Canada.

Either way you look at it, they're always fun to bug. Most of them tend to be lowly network technicians or something else that has the same stature as a gas jockey in the computer world.

The reason why your files haven't been deleted is because the OS still thinks you live in the USA. I am sorry if you find the Mac interface too obtuse to figure out how to change your regional settings, but I suggest you take it up with Steve Jobs at your next slumber party.

You can also choose not to move to Japan, which is crowded, in the economic shitter, and polluted to all hell.

I run XP with openoffice.org 1.1 rc3 and mozilla 1.4. I have absolutely no complaints about OOo, sure its a little slow, same as mozilla to load but when its loaded its great! I've encountered no bugs, indeed there was some survey a few days ago saying that OOo had less than MS Office. Mozilla, like I said, loads slowly, but when loaded its damn near perfect. Besides, two seconds and a patient man.

Nonetheless, by 1.6, when it uses firebird, that will rock!
