First,  iTunes  recently  gave  me   an  automated  message that I  exceeded  
download.  I  download  iTunessetup.  Run.  Kept  default  settings  except  
for  music player  which I  uncheck.  Installation  began  but  stalled  for  
35 minutes now. Back  and Next  is  not  clickable.  This  is  the  notebook.  
If  I  change  my  email  address  with  iTunes  the  desktop  may  not  work.  
I  download  ipod  touch  App and  iTunes  music  on  the ipod  touch.

>And do you really need IE? See this:
 
At  my  primary  job  they  are  only  up to  IE  6.  It  integrates  
seamlessly  with  Lotus  Notes.  I  am  not  a  system  administrator.  I  
have  no  say  in  an organization  policy.IBM  updated  home  access  with  
both  IE  7  and  IE 8.
 
I  have  desktop  shortcuts  to  updated  Firefox  and Chrome  at  home.  What  
my  work  systems  director  does  is  not  my concern.
 
I  have  an  extended  download  prepaid  for  one  year  with  AVG  for  my  
notebook.
 
John,  I  hope  this  does  not  need  moderation.  - Gerald

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
