[Ham-Computers] RE: Apple Ipod

[Dale Miller]

Duane
    It sounds like he already has Itunes if he is being charged money.
Just my opinion but he does have some software that allows the 
downloading of songs.
I tunes charges 99 cents a song.
By the sounds of the gentleman's problem I would say the Ipod is 
probably the easieast.
