Yes. Apple more or less ripped off the whole Genius Bar concept from TekServe.
Huh. Cool. Good idea, TekServe.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Has anyone had a problem with iTunes refusing to open? My BF had iTunes 5.x on a Compaq running WinXP, and (I don't know what precipitated this) one day he tried to open it and it said "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close."
Does he use Eudora? There's a conflict between the two programs. I had a problem like that, but a quick Google turned up the hacky solution in a couple of minutes (which I can't remember right now but could google again if necessary).

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

No Eudora, but that's interesting. Maybe he installed some other mail program.

bon bon, I too googled and didn't find much help wrt error code -3. However, it sounds like something got fubar'd and doing a total uninstall / reinstall of Quicktime and iTunes may be helpful.
Quicktime I believe can simply be uninstalled from Add/Remove Programs. iTunes, however, sounds like it needs a bigger hammer to get it to totally remove itself. See [link] . HTH.

Thanks for the google. I tried also and while there were people at iPod lounge who also got error code -3, no one seems to have the answer.
I have suggested to Bob that he uninstall it all but he's afraid he'll lose his library. I figure that's unlikely, but I'm no expert.

Here's something about the location of the iTunes library files.

With my new spare computers I have been trying out Linux distributions and keep coming back to Ubuntu although I though Suse was pretty good too. Anyone have strong opinions on Linux distributions?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How's Ubuntu for installing new apps? I admit, I stuck around Red Hat for as long as I did because of the RPMs.

Ubuntu is based on Debian so it installs new apps the Debian way.
If the app you want is the in Ubuntu repository, it's just point and click. If not, then you're kinda on your own. It has a pretty decent repository though.
