Well, I hadn't had my coffee at that point, and I was bitter about a stupid Apple bug. Anyway, this just brings us back to my original point: _all software sucks_. But there's different _qualities_ of sucking. There's a difference between a Ford Pinto, which sucks by design, and a BMW M Coupe with a flat tire, which sucks because of a bug. iTunes 4.5, if the bug reports I've heard are accurate, is closer to the M Coupe than to the Pinto. (Windows Media Player is something like a Chevy Malibu -- it runs and all, but it gets rust spots after just a little while on the roads, and you'd be embarassed to be seen going to the prom in it.)
