Transmaster Don't Blame Me I Voted For Bill and Opus join:2001-06-20 Cheyenne, WY ·Qwest.net	The Apple rumor Yes and there is the rumor about Apple using this chip to make the RIAA hate Ipod less then it does now. I'll say it again if Apple does this the Apple Computer it DEAD! I would love to be able to load a standard PC with OS-10 to me that is the fundamental mistake Apple made if they had gone for software instead of hardware how different things would be today. -- Low voltage Tech's are wimps, Real tech's use 45 pound filament transformers, plate voltages no less then 2400 volts with at least 10 amp's lighting 8877 triodes...BPL I'm coming to get you.

The RIAA can't do squat about mp3 players because there is nothing illegal about them whatsoever so I don't think Apple is bowing to such demands. Rather they would be laughing at them. Certainly there is something going on to make the change. I just don't think the link is the record industry. As you said... that would be much too stupid a reason.

Their ability to perform the inconcievably stupid is just as likely as any other company to do the same. Come to think about it, I can't think of one computer manufacturer period that hasn't pulled a "D'oh!" moment in retrospect.
