i totally agree with everything brian said here. its absolutely ridiculous to assume that your BRAND NEW generation ipod will automatically connect with an OS as outdated as OS 9. thats like expecting to be able to connect your ipod successfully to windows 3.1. seriously.

oh. it is also ridiculous to think they should include a copy of tiger FREE just because you paid base $249 for something. thats chump change that doesnt entitle you to a free OS upgrade. windows vista is out, so by your theory, everyone should be able to get windows xp for free too right?

maybe the people with the false sense of entitlement are not apple, as you suggest, but yourself. apple doesnt owe you anything. especially if you are running a 7 year old computer with a 3 year old operating system. that doesnt exactly make you an ideal customer. in my house we have a mac mini, a g5, 2 14in ibooks, a macbook, a macbook pro, ipod nano, ipod mini. in fact the computer i am on is running your "outdated tiger ox x." interesting.
