Yeah, that was Zenith, who was acquired by LG due to shrinking market
share. Ford also used the slogan Quality if Job 1. I bet Ford still
got their new cars out every model year though, and of course, Ford has
had more than it's share of quality problems over the years. It's called
marketing.
I'm wondering if anyone will be creating a podcast on how to use Itunes 12
with windows?

Hi Neil,
No, there is no shortcut key for that from what I can tell. I just always go to
the search field with Control+f and then tab the 4 or 5 times to get to the
button for my device or, if you have more than one, devices. I guess how often
you have to tab depends on how many things you put
Could you setup a shortcut in keyboard commanders? Would that work? Could you

This is 100 percent speculation on my part, but, as Freedom Scientific has
done podcasts on versions 10 and 11, they may also be doing one on 12?

Ah, but the iPhone can do things that the Pac Mate cannot, it is more portable,
it costs less, it more often and more easily upgraded, and it works. I also

The key, though, is that iTunes 12 works pretty well, and a work in progress.
Other upgraded software does not, especially Microsoft software. The question
remains, why produce something that does not work and do away with what does?

True, but iTunes 12 works. So do the follow ons to Windows XP. Change
doesn't automatically mean that it doesn't work or that it's unstable.
In fact, sometimes change is good and things actually improve over time.

As a matter of fact, many of my sighted friends much prefer iTunes 12 over

people who like it better. And, in addition, as some have pointed out, it works
quite well. It's just different. One thing you can be sure

I do like iTunes 12, now that I can find out what's new in apps I am about
to upgrade. Although I do wish that the side bar be returned, I can live
without it.
My complaints about unnecessary changes, though, deal with issues such as

Hi Charles,
I haven't used the sidebar since iTunes 11 first came out because I find it
much more efficient the way it is now and especially in iTunes 12 every item
which previously was in the sidebar except the device section has shortcut keys
so in that respect iTunes 12 is as good as it has
Yes, I believe the same thing. The most part of changes that those companies

Hi Charles and Pablo,
I think Microsoft and Apple should hire you guys since you appear to have deep

I personally have no problem with Windows 8. Infact, i love it, more so than

often fear for the change are those that never experience it, and fearful to
