Yes, a number of people have said that and sent me mp3s of Arlo Guthrie  
(the original) and Judy Collins. Israel being what it is, many songs  
are "imports" which become localised through the addition of Hebrew  
lyrics and music instruments. Greek music is a prime source of "raw"  
material.

It was fun to learn to use iMovie 3 given all the negative comments it  
had been receiving, and I am in awe of its flexibility given it is  
free. I have been able to use third party plugins where others have  
said they have been troublesome.


To flipper: Thanks very much for the detailed reply. If I have to apply  
pitch shift of a rudimentary kind, Amadeus II does a reasonable job  
converting to a and from mp3s. But there are times when I want to do it  
on the fly - while a dance is occuring - so the pitch controls of say  
Baytex pro or Megaseg would do the trick. I am just surprised the pitch  
shift capacity hasn't been added to iTunes before now, given OS X's  
audio capacities. iTunes 4?

And many thanks to John Griffin for the iTunes/iPod list mention - have  
been looking around for just such a list!

I think that about brings this thread to a close, huh?

Re nicknames for the new 17" (abrupt segue).

Given "Mini-me" uses it in the long and short of it Apple ad. some have  
begun to name it "Dr. Evil". I kinda like that.....
