And this is exactly why most people will never try to engage any Apple users into a computer discussion, socials and parties. |

What are you talking about? what popups? what crash? what spyware? |
The ones that plague Windows, incessantly. It isn't a matter of debate. |
Popups? You mean those things which are a part of many websites? I can turn them on or off with one click. Easy-peasy.
Crashes? My XP system has crashed maybe once this year. Maybe once last year. So what? It restarts in 20 seconds without a problem. I can leave my computer on for days at a time without a single problem. The crashes occured when playing a corrupted video file. Hardly the fault of XP.
Spyware? Not a problem. It doesn't affect my computing at all. My spyware program which runs for 20 minutes once a week in the background takes care of everything.
I can happily put up with these very, very, minor inconveniences. Much better than being terribly restricted in what hardware and software I can use. I like choices, you see.
Can you see the construct Mac users have built? That Windows is crappy and doesn't work as well as Mac. It's an illusion created by a master illusionist. Steve Jobs. Did you see his latest trick? Convincing millions of people that the i-phone was new and revolutionary? Hehehe........He's good. I'll give him that.
Windows works just fine and has tens of thousands of great hardware and software choices to go with it. |

My computer has been on for 120 days, since I moved into my new apartment. |

| the fact is computers are becoming more integral in everyday living as time goes by and the experience is becoming more human or organic. Everyone knows that is the idea that macs were built on even since the early days and its been the right decision. The pc mac gap is closing. |

Well, it lasted this long without descending into the same argument that's been had since the beginning of time. That's got to be a record.

It's $349 in the States, so here it will probably go about 369,000 won or so. There's a bit of a mark-up. As to where, there's a few Apple Stores around, can probably find the locations on Apple's website. http://www.apple.com/retail

Cheers, 375 000 isn't too bad a price for 80 gigs aye? 6th generation seems to have fewer problems than its predeccesors as well.

The thing that is disturbing to me is that Apple products have suffered from quality and manufacturing issues that they didn't before, yet Mac fanboys seem desperate to claim that any mention of problems MUST be the result of IBM fanboys dissing Macs and Mac products.
As someone who has owned/worked with/experienced Mac products for years, I can tell you that Mac products are definately not what they used to be. |

mp3 format is no problem. When you install it it will ask you if you want it to search your harddrive for media files. If you click okay it will search all the nook and cranies and load all the files in to iTunes You'll see them under the Library tab. Once there you can create your own playlists as you see fit. It also has a "get album art" feature that works somewhat. It found about 60% of the album covers. I ended up going to Amazon for the album art and copy/pasted into iTunes for the ones I wanted. After that, it's drag and drop. You can either drag individual songs or albums to it, or make a playlist and drag the playlist icon to the iPod and it will save your order, all that. The iPod sorts the music either by Album, Artist or Playlist. If you have more than one album for an artist and you're searching for, when you select the name, it will give you all the album options for that artist, etc.
If you purchase many cd's and plan to rip them, you'll want to go into preferences and make sure it's set to import as mp3 and choose your quality preference. I believe the default is AAC, Apple's proprietary format. The iPod won't play any Windows Media files, but I think there's work-arounds and hacks for that sort of thing, if it's going to be an issue.
No purchase from iTunes is required.

Nope. Not those. The ones that plague Windows incessantly. Read what is written.
There are four or five popups that greet me everyday when I startup the (Windows) computer at my school. I've never seen a popup attach itself to the MacOS. It may happen. I've never seen it.

Bully for you. What is this, a competition of anecdotals? The Windows machine at my school crashed all the time; the technician came and wiped the hardrive and did a clean install; now it has several popups attached to it; today it crashed during class. All this in the last few months.
Handling problems gracefully, such as corrupted video files, is entirely the job of the operating system.

The reverse is more likely. It's a fair generalization that any minority is more aware of the majority than vice-versa. Mac users are often Windows users too: It is hard to avoid Windows. It is much easier to avoid Macs. I'd happily bet that Mac-inexperience among Windows users is much higher than Windows-inexperience among Mac users. |
