    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

    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

    24. Townie

    29. mikeshulman

    35. 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
