So much for Apple's famed easef-use and intuitiveness if a peoduct of a
"lax educational system" can't handle it, huh?


As I said, I use it so seldom that learning it inside and out doesn't
interest me- it's merely an automated conversion tool to move my WMA

I guess that will do it with today's installment of "Things you cannot

with BT DUN to post this, and had to disconnect my BT A2DP profile
from my phone to my stereo in the car, causing me to miss the history
of Howard Stern. Hey, theres two more things you cant do with iPhone,
this job is just too easy.
