This may be better in Digital Hub, but I'm not a mod, so I won't trouble myself with that



/.



That's what I would call a glowing review. My favorite part:

With iTunes and the iTunes Music Store, I honestly can't see myself returning to buying CDs. It's just so much more convenient, and significantly cheaper to download and burn - and I don't care about the minor quality differences or the lack of cover art. This is what I've been waiting for.



g33k cred. That's what iTunes and the iTMS needs. Thoughts?

    i got a peecee using friend of mine to dl itunes the day it came out, and this weekend he picked up an ipod. he absolutely loves the whole setup, only thing keeping him from a mac is the games he plays. He took a few minutes to look at the iTMS and decided that he probably wasnt going to be buying anything other than blank cd's from now on.







    iTunes + iPod, the ultimate trojan horse

    I forgot there even was AppleWorks for Windows.



    Anyways, I reinstalled Virtual PC today just to test out iTunes on it, installed Windows 2000 on it (which was a painful process), and at the end of it got sidetracked and still haven't played with it. If this review is any indicator, I think I'll be happy with it (even though I'll never use it again...)

    This isn't the first PC app Apple has ever released, it's just the first one that doesn't blow donkeys.

    I wouldn't count that one. Or maybe even AppleWorks. They were Windows versions before Apple bought them.

    Not sure about this. According to this site, Clarris/AppleWorks had a decidedly Apple (platform) base history, though not originally Apple developers:

    The history of FileMaker is less clear, but here is some information:

    Fair enough but not pure Apple apps.

    Appleworks = Clarisworks



    Filemaker was made by Claris before it was spun off.



    Claris was Apple's software house for apps before it was reabsorbed.



    Filemaker is still an Apple owned company.

    I used AppleWorks for the Apple II all they way through 7th grade. Completely text-driven with mark-up style notation for indents, double spacing, etc.
