I fill my iPod with primarily Podcasts (they are FREE). I don't think I've spent $50 in the last 4 years on music from the iTunes store. All my music is legal downloads or from CD/cassettes/LPs that I own. Steve Chris Dunford wrote: And the proposition that somebody would spend $10,000s

In an early post talk about comparing services. I think it should be noted that Zune Pass lets you keep 10 downloads a month, iTunes offers free downloads each week (mind, you can only download what they are offering for free).

Chris, I may not be a doctor, but take a chill pill. I see the discussion as to the differences between service and which service is right for you. To do this fairly you need to look at all the costs of each service. Somebody mentioned a service similar to Zune Pass but only $5 a

A friend of mine said he was getting this message that his computer was infected with all sorts of things. I told him not to click on it and download, because it was mostly a scam. Too late, he had already downloaded Spyware Protect 2009. How can I remove it from his PC? He is running XP.

My brother is having a problem with his Appleworks program. He is running it on an eMac with OS 10.3.9. The problem may have started after he tried to fix somethings with Norton. This is the problem: when you launch Appleworks, you get the menus across the top, a blank toolbar,

This is an OLD article! The dateline on it is 6/21/07. I don't believe OS 10.5 was released for another month. Vista had barely been out for 6 months, and it was on so few machines that I'm sure it wasn't targeted as much as the other OS (XP, OS X, Linux) mentioned in it. Tom Piwowar wrote:
