Sas,

you been reading too many books about things you don't understand.

Suggest you stick to the Beano.

Good to hear that your old man's out of hospital!

Try not to stay so far from your comfort zone next time and get him a walkman. I'm sure you know somewhere to get cheap tapes.

IIRC there's a setting on the iPod itself that says what it's connecting to windows or Mac (I'd have a look but I've left mine at the hotel) - could that be it?

Eye Pod Status Report #3

Dad is out of hospital

Mum took the Eye Pod back to Halley's and got the money back

All's well that ends well.

Problem solved by de-scoping your way out of it.

IIRC all iPods are formatted with the Mac filesystem (HFS+) which Windows being Windows, is too dumb to be able to read.

You'll need iTunes to reformat the iPod to FAT32 before Windows can read/write to it.

thanks Bob,

but isn't this all a little too hobbyist in these days of plug and play

the expectation is be able to plug the device in and use it

as Thomas said, the device did not meet expectations, the results were presented to the steering committee at the toll gate 2 meeting and a unanimous decision was made to remove the hobbyist eye pod from the scope of the deliverables with the comments that the technology should be avoided until there is proven and demonstable evidence of its maturity in the market place and other customer successes

On the other hand, you and your mum are the first people I've ever heard of who haven't been able to use an iPod.
