Help with iTunes library failure after SnowLeopard
I've called Apple support as someone suggested. After an hour and a half of Q n A, the lead said he had to take it back to his team. He said they'll call back this week with further info. Baffling. I'll report what I find out as contacts develop.Ed

other speaker cable, what to buy
.I agree with Gmahler2u... give the Morrow Audio SP4 and MA4s a try... break them in (this is a must... you will be very, very happy that you did). Just a happy customer, no affiliation...:) listening,Ed.
