My dad went 60k miles on the same tires on his '99 Siera Z71. No problems from them at all.
The Ipod and ITunes saved Apple. That company was seriously going belly-up, but the IPod and ITunes came just in the nick of time. The IPod and ITunes pretty much is the only thing that keeps the lights on over at Apple. Maybe their new Intel-Powered computers will assist with paying the bills also.
I agree that the iPod brought Apple back from certain doom, but I think that they're newer computers were great. The G3 and up computers were good sellers and are great machines. Graphic design
firms use the hell out of them.
