heh, heh. I laid down the law about that stuff at my house. I won't pay for
the hardware or the software and I won't provide support for it at all. If
it takes an IP address it will require extensive chores each week to keep
the address available (IPv4 is running low - right?).

To date: Only 1 ipod as a gift that now just uses mp3 files from a Linux
system since itunes on a friends machine kept deleting everything.
