Eventually, the music industry will remove their collective heads from their asses and admit to themselves that they have to play nice with iPod/iTunes.

If I only had a brain...
I got a new 17" flat panel monitor for Christmas. (Yea Christmas!)
It has three dead pixels. This used to be par for the course in manufacturing flat panels. Is it still, or should I return it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd return it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
First thing I learned from Google:
Now don't confuse a dead pixel with a fleck of dirt on the screen or a piece of dried snot.
Policies on dead pixels, but I don't know when this was written: [link]
It seems that every manufacturer has their own policy, so find out what yours is....

So, is ipodlounge.com the best site to point people to if they have questions about their new-for-Christmas iPods? Apparently lots of my co-workers got iPods, and most of them are confused about using iTunes and their work PCs.
(Bless their little hearts, they've all decided I am the person with knowledge about All Things iPod; partially because they've all seen me using mine every day, but also because I look odd, and therefore must understand Apple computer widgits.)

Well, it's not a terribly wrong conclusion. ::grin::

Speaking of things gotten for Christmas, I'm going to talk to my IT department (but hold out little hope)--I got a jump drive with the idea that I could then easily get things between my home and work computers....but today tried to use it at work, and didn't seem to get anything, becuase it's Windows NT. Am I right in suspecting NT is eeeeevil? (The support page for the specific product said for Win98 you needed a driver, and for Win2000 and XP you didn't....but didn't mention NT).
