I know someone who bought a brand new computer, fully updated, expecting to be able to do the things he couldn't do with his old computer. He decided to download some music onto his computer to burn onto a CD.
He company he decided to use was "itunes" to download the music. He paid $25 for 25 downloads. The songs were downloaded onto his computer with no problem. But when it was time to burn the songs onto a brand new CD it wouldn't happen. He tried numerous times to get the songs to burn onto the CD. But no matter what he did it would not work.
So, he called customer support. That was an exercise in futility. The woman he talked to didn't know much. She did finally make a suggestion for him to try. Then she proceeded to hang up. When he tried her suggestion, guess what, it didn't work. He tried to call customer support, guess what, they were closed.
In doing research on his problem he found that there were a lot of people having the same problem. People with all different kinds of computers, and all different ages of computers. It seems to me that itunes would realise that there is a problem with their music downloads. What I can't figure out is why they haven't fixed the problem. In fact, it doesn't seem that they care about the problems their customers are having. I sure would like to see itunes work this problem out.

Game Day
If you are anything like me, you love to play games on your PC. I think I spend more time playing games than just about anything. I have visited many different game communities and have found most of them are about the same. But there are a couple that kinda stand out.
My absolute favorite is Bigfish Games. You can find them at www.bigfishgames.com
What I like about them is that they introduce a new game everyday. They have all different kinds of games also. Their prices are very reasonable. You can buy games for as little as $6.99 They also have a game community where you can play games online. You can go into chat rooms and chat with other gamers while you play. Sometimes it helps to have more than one person working on a game. You know, two heads are better than one.
Another web site I like is www.playfirst.com They also have too many games to count. They are most famous for the Diner Dash series of games. These are absolutely wonderful. There are now four games in the series. And while you can buy them from most gaming web sites, the Playfirst web site is the only one that I have found where you can play the game online and customize your diner and waitress/waiter. You can also play against other Diner Dash players in diners of your own design or they can invite you to play on theirs. The fun never ends.
Some people think that playing games is just for children, but I have just as much fun with some of these games as they do. By the way, one benefit of playing these games is it has improved the dexterity in my fingers. And for a guitar player that is definitely a benefit.
