It's more than a little ironic <in my mind> that ITunes works on the
MAC which has a BSD compatibility layer with pretty window dressings
and Apple won't port it over to Linux, which should be trivial...but I
suppose that is [OT] for this list.  I am sure it is a monetary
decision on the part of Apple but I can't help but think/speculate
that it shouldn't cost that much to port it.  I'm betting it will be
money in the bank for Codeweavers when they get everything working
well.  My wife is asking me to build/buy another machine just so she
can use her minipod.
