[iTunes] Another comment on iTunes

I had all sorts of problems with iTunes, wound up having to reinstall it several times, and spent many hours (literally) on the phone with an Apple support supervisor uninstalling secret files that iTunes installs that don't come off when you uninstall iTunes (right there, that's bloat)

iTunes automatically assumes that you're going to want Safari and Bonjour and a whole bunch of stuff that I don't need with my nano - right there, that's more bloat. YOu should have the option to not install Bonjour and god only knows what else the iPhone (and now the iPad) need that a nano doesn't.

I'm not having any problems with iTunes now. But what did it was I changed the background picture on my computer from a NASA shot of the surface of Mars (which was a really big picture) to one of the standard, smaller-sized pictures. So there's bloat on memory-usage issues, as well.
