When I was in the Navy, one of my shipmates once said, "I _hate_
Yokosuka. There's not a $%&*%^&% thing to do there."

I asked, "Are you telling me there is _nothing_ to do in a suburb of the
biggest city in the world?"

I see. I had CW, then AW, then used MS Office stuff, now happily rid of
all three, and simply use iWorks.

So, you can think of no lost functions in iTunes?

No, I couldn't reach my account, whichever route I tried, because they'd
made my version of iTunes obsolete.

oooo! Now I'm jealous 8-) I know some people who play vielle, but
don't have much music played on it. I also know several who play
recorders of various sizes together as a consort and wish I lived near
such people. At least with a harp I get to sing and play at the same
time.
