    4. garethgreenaway
      garethgreenaway: @leolaporte You honestly sound surprised, Apple is and always will be a commercial entity. They're out to sell their products. 4 minutes later reply fix threading

    6. PCFirestorm

    7. jrmehle
      jrmehle: @leolaporte I agree Leo. You'd think Apple could make Quicktime and iTunes work with the previous version or 2 of their OS. 5 minutes later reply fix threading

    10. codemonkey
      codemonkey: @leolaporte That's ridiculous. I highly doubt it has anything to do with compatibility with the software. Sound more like a Microsoft move. 7 minutes later reply fix threading
    11. jarek91
      jarek91: @leolaporte I agree. Despite the praises for Apple...they do evil from time to time. 7 minutes later reply fix threading

    14. roblef
      roblef: @leolaporte i bet you could get an earlier firmware for that iPod that would accept the Tiger OS. Awful that it doesn't "just work." Greedy. 12 minutes later reply fix threading

      mykel: @leolaporte the question is are you part of the flock, or causing it by telling us 45000 listeners? :) 17 minutes later reply fix threading
    19. Townie
      Townie: @leolaporte Seriously? I could understand when my friend on Panther was told to upgrade, but Tiger? That's strong-arming 17 minutes later reply fix threading

    22. bibz
      bibz: @leolaporte You might want to take a look at it. None of the iPods require Leopard according to the Apple website. 27 minutes later reply fix threading

      shawnp0wers: @leolaporte I think if I were here I would respond that, no, actually purchasing a $400 Walmart Windows machine would work too... ;) 41 minutes later reply fix threading
    24. mikeshulman
      mikeshulman: @leolaporte This is false. EVERY ipod model specs on apple.com state 10.4.x or later for their MacOS support. 10.5.x is not a requirement 43 minutes later reply fix threading
    25. Miniology

    27. redragon
      redragon: @leolaporte what is the reason given by Apple? 43 minutes later reply fix threading
    28. lukeman
      lukeman: @leolaporte I'm not so sure Leo. The tech spec pages all indicate iPods work with the latest update of 10.4. Might want to check up on this. 43 minutes later reply fix threading
    29. Thraxman
      Thraxman: @leolaporte Apple's websit lists Tiger as minimum for all new iPods. Unjustifiably flakey tech support maybe? 43 minutes later reply fix threading
