Is that a chance for a new "app". Nag manager!

It automatically answers and plays back a piece from a Clint Eastwood film where he has been whacked and is on the ground being attended to by a rapidly talking Sondra Locke....where he gives her that "look" and sighs...."nag, nag, nag"

I use both macs and PCs but I never take my PCs on line. As I said, then Paul and Ross would find out that that I sell black market Licenses. But if we had an i app now then Apple would get a piece of the action as you have to go through a somewhat long process and they do deny them (the apps for i app, but do aprove around 70% so they say, I think it has to do with their cut of the action personally) and have recently been called on by the FCC for unreasonably denying them(the i apps platform that is). Apple has answered and It seemed reasonable to me, they want a piece of the action.
So, if it were me I would try Linux and a different medium. But with Linux and unix, One can steal most info pretty easy with the use of a pseudo, pseudo sam or alias and hide it with a secret invisible Samba and password). DOS is just as easy though. Apple does tick me off as I cant load my hundreds of CDs (mostly music and movies) I own and paid for on my ipods and the touch because apple wants to sell it to me again thru iTunes, go figure. Oddly enough Ipods and most players use RAW or a FAT partition and not a fat32 or guid. Interesting!!! They do have PCs that can now run on either or both linux/unix and even Mac OX, they are called macpc's, Micromacs, macdosses or crapples (ithink one way is a program called Pear4). This is not boot camp or Parallel. U can also use thum sticks for linux/windows and now mac OX.
What are the EFILive guys up to with Linux? By the way guys, Tordne knows all of this and is very good with Macs and PCs, so hound him, he also has a cell phone!! His # is.... I better not.
Cant wait to find out,

I have been tempted to run Linux on my workstation/laptop a number of times. The unfortunately reality (for me anyway) is that I need to run Windows pretty much all the time. I have even toyed with running Windows in a VM, but if you are always operating in a VM it gets a bit tired.

I run Linux on all our servers. My biggest annoyance at the moment is trying to get Offline Files working with Samba . You can open any file you like on any Samba share, but Offline Files complains (exactly the number of errors as files to be sync'd). That just makes no sense!! If I can open the file why can't it GRRR! Figure it will get fixed quickly when Windows 7 get used on mass anyway.

Back to the topic (sort of). Until I bought the iPhone I was never really a supporter of anything out of the Apple camp. I chose to have all my music in the Microsoft WMA format. I waited, and waited for a compelling device to come out and compete with the iPhone. I know the Zune exists (but now down in Australia/NZ for whatever reason). I actually figured at some point the iPhone would have to support WMA, but no!

Anyway, test drove an iPhone for a week before making up my mind. Converted all my music to iTunes Plus, and have not looked back
