I love my mac except when I don't

Motherboard on the ibook just fried again. One trip to apple store later, I have no ibook, but a promise they will fix it again, a new power supply and two hours less of my day.

Anyone know how to get music off an ipod if the ibook is missing? Is there a way to back up an ipod without going through the whole computer authorization crap scheme? The only data I don't have backed up are the itunes downloads that are on my ipod.

So here I sit, linked to my back up internet umbilicus, the toshiba tablet pc thingy I was just thinking about selling.

Anyone have an old imac doorstop they don't need?

two motherboards, that's crazy talk!! Any idea why?

I'm sending my imac doorstop to my mother; for whom it will be the most magical, fastest machine she has ever worked on.

No idea why. I did ask how many times I was going to have to replace it, though. I also asked for the Extra Strength motherboard part number. (humorous-ly enough I hope)

I'd be happy if I never had to replace it again. Many manufacturers will replace an item if it has to have a major repair more than twice, but I don't know what apple's policy is.
