["Eric Brinkman" <eric.brinkman1@xxxxxxxxx>]

iPod Classic is basically identical to the video iPods from the last two
years, but the sizes are different (80 GB or 160 GB).

After the ten minutes is up J-Tunes constantly says that the demonstration
has expired.  I uninstaled it since I don't think you can stop the message
without restarting your computer.  Can I do everything that J-Tunes does
with the jaws cursor?  I'm surprised J-Tunes can't be purchased online.
