For the record. I gave a copy of this article to the Managers of the Santa Clara store when I went for my interview to work there as a part time sales person. They weren't too happy to see it. I didn't get the job.

Soundtrack is included with FCP 4.

I visited the Santa Clara store with a friend a few weeks ago. She wanted to by headphones for her iPod. They had a pair of $250 Bose headphones on display. But the AA batteries were dead. When I asked for new batteries, they said they had none because their requests to corporate for more hadn't been delivered yet. When I asked why they couldn't use petty cash to go buy more at the Radio Shack down the Mall alley, they said that they had no petty cash with which to do so. When I volunteered to go buy some, they said they wouldn't be able to reimburse me for that. One of the sales persons told us to go look at that model at the Bose store nearby. We did and she bought an unpowered model for $150 that wasn't offered at the Apple Store. When I went back to the Apple Store and told them, no one seemed upset that they had lost a $250 sale over a pair of 39¢ AA batteries. There seems to be no sense of DUTY among employees there. No sense of customer comes first. Who ever heard of a business without petty cash for emergency expenses? I think this is an outrage.

Mikem, When you "Join CD Tracks" do all those tracks become ONE track? Is there no longer a way to listen to a particular song from that CD without scanning through a single "track" to find the place where it begins? Or do the tracks still have individual start and stop points within the joined set? Thanks for the clarification.

That reads a bit too rude. Let's just say I think the Dock is more trouble than it's worth.

You've had better luck than I. I experience an OS X "crash" every few months. & ; ^ ) Let me see if I can guess the next 10 reasons why OS X is better to complete the Top 10. 3. Column View. This superior way of looking at, organizing and managing drives, folders and files is the NeXt best thing to sliced bread. 4. Multitasking. Whatever you're doing in one application can be left to itself while you do something else in others and so on without interfering nor slowing down any of them. 5. Classic Mode. Most OS 9 programs run faster in Classic than natively. When a 9 applicaction crashes, it doesn't take down the entire system with it. 6. The Digital Hub. OS X comes with a suite of applications that are way better than their OS 9 counterparts and some that don't exist in the OS 9 world at all. 7. Multiprocessor aware. OS X takes advantage of an many processors as you have to run it in. 8. OS X auto-configures your network and internet connection. 9. OS X audio and music standards are far superior to the previous audio and music scheme. 10. OS X looks great! Aqua is very cool for the eyes to live with. 11. OS X is Fun to be in! 12. OS X feels fast enough, even on so called "slow" and "unsupported" Macs.
