Why I will Forever Love Apple

iTunes 9 just saved my electronic life.

Many people in my generation are computer wiz-kids who can make anything with a circuit board work. I am computer retarded. My sister types faster than I thought possible mainly because all she did in middle school was IM her friends. And internet conversations have to be quick because you not only never know when your mom will walk in, it takes forever to tell a whole story so you get really good at quickly entering one sentance at a time.

I was never really big on AIM - I talked to fast for how slow I typed, so I just called people! It seems, however, that missing that AIM step put me behind everyone else in learning how to work all this stuff. Don't ask me how, I just know it did.

My ineptitude eventually caused me to become iTunes retarded as well. When I bought a laptop in college I did not get rid of my old computer so I kept my iTunes on there. But then I wanted to listen to music while waiting for class, so I imported some CDs on my laptop. One thing lead to another and I had two iTunes accounts on two computers. Well, I couldn't make my iPod mix with 2 computers, so I just bought a second iPod and have 2 in my purse, so depending on what I want to listen to I have the red one or the white one.

The biggest problem with this is now my computers both live in my studio in the basement and I only got wireless internet. So I bought new stuff on the "Just has a little music to take to class" account. But I can't watch TV on that iPod. See, I told you I was completely stupid.

Now there is iTunes 9

I carried the old computer upstairs, plugged it into the internet, cried while attempting to update my 3 year old software, and can now OFFICIALLY merge my accounts. I might cry again (but from happiness this time)

I can once again carry around only one iPod. Seeing how I only have 800 songs and 15 TV shows it wasn't like I was out of room on one of them.

Bless you Apple for making me seem a little less mentally slow.
