Thanks Richard,

A couple of more questions if anyone has the time.

1. I have been searching for a iTunes client. i.e. a player that I can 
play my iTunes on. Does such a thing exist? Is there an iTunes client 
that can connect to the iTunes store?

2. I want to import my Oulook express folders to Thinderbird. I know it 
can be done on windows, but when I try the impirt feature (running 
Thunderbord on FreeBSD), there is no option to do this. Is there a way?
