What the heck is it with this eye-tunes stuff? I recently wanted to view a Quicktime movie on my Windows machine - and had to get the quicktime player on the machine I was using. But Apple.com wouldn't download a copy of the quicktime movie player, unless it could install Itunes as well. No problem - I let it install - but it started doing the same sort of nonsense that REAL always annoyed me with - setting all the default preferences for audio files to quicktime and wanting to make itself the default media player in my machine. Then to top it all off - when I tried to use Itunes - the site tells me that I need a US billing address to download music. Bah - where's my copy of Kazaa ++ lite?

Customer Complaint
What follows is a superb example of British humor in A LETTER THAT WAS
TRULY WRITTEN AND SENT. The piece suggests two things:
1) Americans and Canadians are not the only ones who get poor service
from their ISP, cable and/or alarm companies. (NTL is a cable operator in
Britain).
2) The Brits probably write the world's best letters of complaint.
Dear Cretins:
I have been an NTL customer since 9th July 2001, when I signed up for
your four-in-one deal for cable TV, cable modem, telephone, and alarm
monitoring.
During this three-month period I have encountered inadequacy of service
which I had not previously considered possible, as well as ignorance and
stupidity of monolithic proportions. Please allow me to provide specific
details, so that you can either pursue your professional prerogative and
seek to rectify these difficulties --or more likely (I suspect) so that
you can have so...
