One of these days, Apple's going to have to decide what it wants to do - it can't carry on behaving as arbitrarily as it has been without some sort of trouble turning up big time, not given the way it's going about things.

No insults hurled! >> Not so much 'sync' as just transfer files >> actually.. Cheers ... Mark
