Well, that was an unusually enjoyable rant... :-) But I think Tina's on to something. While my standards are a heck of a lot lower than yours, and that I have moreover vastly compromised them for the sake of affordability and practicality, my tolerance has come to a sudden, screeching halt with the new Amazon digital video store. I used to favor their digital store because I could download and listen to music wherever I pleased instead of having to abide by Apple's rule of five, but this is plain disturbing. Anywhere else, you get a digital movie that you download to YOUR computer, or a number of your computers (limited by them); Amazon sells you the right to stream a movie from THEIR site. Anywhere else, you buy the digital ghost of a movie; Amazon sells you the right to hold seances. And now the new Apple TV seems like a step in the Digital Soup Nazi direction: No storage for you! Am I the only one who finds this alarming? F -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
