Heh. That's definitely more than my 15" G4 Powerbook with 20 gigabites of ram and 550 mHz processor. The fact that it's running 10.4.9 still impresses me.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Maybe the IR sensor is partially blocked, and the wall bounces it to the sensor perfectly. Maybe DVD/Tivo/Cable box is too close and doing same?
Apparently the sensor is right on the front of the TV, so who knows.

Toshiba owners I know tend to be pretty happy with their machines, so that would be my pick in that price range.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
EMI's files, as sold by Apple, come with the buyer's name and e-mail address embedded in the file's header, where it can be easily read.
Well, I only bought the one. Not sure if I'll continue. Although the one DRM-free song I bought is probably the one I'd be most embarassed by having my name attached to, it being a Spice Girls number and all.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I can't imagine it was very long after the DRM-free watermarked media were available before some sort of stripping program was on the 'net.

Are there any ill-consequences of using purportedly "legal" DRM stripping?

ita, I'm led to understand that all songs bought from iTunes have that information in the metadata. Not just the DRM-free ones.

Yup. That's how they know whose file it originally was. But those files never went anywhere (what with being unusable and all), so I didn't mind. Not that I'm going to send my copies of the DRM-free music blazing across the internet, but the more portable the file gets the less I want my personal info in it.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
unusable? You could always burn the purchased songs to a CD-Audio disc, give as many copies as you want to folks, and they could re-rip it in if they want. I don't know if the tags floated with the CD-Audio disc or not, but you could still share. It just took an extra step.
