[Staffslug] They don't get it......

Kids, they just don't get it do they? My son has just treated himself to a brand spanking new 80gb iPod. Lovely bit of kit I will admit. He comes to load iTunes on the PC. I am not allowed to run Linux on this one, I got massively outvoted. So, he downloads the latest version.....DING! First problem arises. The latest version of iTunes will not run on Win 2000 only XP and above. Ok, try one of the repositories with an older version. Downloads an older version that is compatible with Win 2000....DING! Second problem. This iPod is so new that it will only work with the latest version of iTunes. Of course I have told him that there is a very strong possibility that he would be able to sync the iPod with Linux (probably Kubuntu or Ubuntu). Will he listen? Guess? So it looks like I am now going to have to put bloody XP on a machine now. I hate XP :-(((( Bloody proprietary software...mutter, mutter!!!! -- ============================================== Kevan Farmer Linux user #373362 Staffordshire
