All Tech (Problems) Considered

http://cptv.vo.llnwd.net/o2/ypmwebcontent/Commodore%20Skahill/Colin%20McEnroe%20Show%2012-15-2011.mp3

I have a problem.

The computer that was the home base for my iTunes has died, so the only place my iTunes exist is on my iPod.

If you tell me I should have backed up my iTunes, I will hit you. I googled this whole problem and learned that solutions do exist. I tried one of them and was too stupid to be able to make it work.

That's one of the problems with modern tech problems. Sometimes there are also problems with the solutions. To put it another way, if you were too stupid to avoid the problem in the first place, you may be too stupid to implement the solution.

Notwithstanding all of the preceding, we are bringing in specialists to solve your tech problems today. And after we steer you down a frozen river of viruses and hacked passwords, we'll cheer you up with some cool gift gadget ideas.
