DavidDraiman old hand Registered: 02/08/03 Posts: 1177 Loc: Dedham, MA, USA	but the original didn't have the option when you bought it... I remember that some company came out with XPod or XPlay or something to let it work Windows but i'm hoping she wouldn't need that now since there's iTunes for Windows...<br><br>
