I disagree. When I see people announcing products, and not announcing prices, I immediately put them on a block list, and pay no further attention to them. If the product was of good value, the price would be mentioned immediately. On Feb 13, 2014, at 2:09 PM, Arnold Schmidt

I love its xm interface. A couple things confuse me. Is there a way to stop the music? It appears the toggle pauses, which implies it is streaming in the background and would drain your battery. When searching for new stations, the genres I see seem totally random. Is there a way to see more? I

But why should I have to put up with the initial bugs in OS7? I'd prefer to stick with os6, let those on this list who love being early adopters work out the wrinkles, and then upgrade when I feel it is time for me to do so. Apple has acted reprehensibly, IMO. -Original Message- From:
