Have you ever wondered?

Have you ever wondered if they can put a man on the moon, why haven't they done it for a second time? Or, if they can program a missile to hit a target so exact, why then, can't they find a cure for cancer? Or my biggest 'have you ever wondered'...if I can plug in my ipod into a different computer, and they know the name of the device, how come they can't keep track of what music I have purchased on itunes from different locations?

I am somewhat itunes challenged, and only recently did I get my first ipod - a shuffle - which I think is like the most basic ipod they have (my Mom has a better ipod than I do). Well our home computer is getting old (you all know the deal with my decrepit computer) so originally, I loaded my ipod and music up onto Leonard's work computer. Well he changed jobs, and had to return that computer. So bye-bye went all my music.

Around Christmas time, I decided to put some effort into understanding modern technology a little better and tried fixing up my home computer. I was successful, I found a way to load my ipod and charge it from my old tower. I cleaned up the disc and now it moves at an OK speed. So I finally decided, to load itunes onto my hard drive and pick up where I left off.

Did you know they don't have my previous purchases saved on my itunes account? What the heck? They remembered my credit card information, why can't they remember I bought the Red Hot Chili Peppers disc from them too? If I am allowed to authorize up to 5 different computers access to my account then theoretically, shouldn't 5 different computers have access to my purchases too? So now, I am afraid to load new music onto my sad little shuffle because I am going to lose what music I already purchased and is rightfully mine! I need to change it up a bit, but I've got my John Mayer, and the Peppers, and Metallica - those things I am not yet willing to part with. Oh the dilema.

A hex on you, itunes!
